I planted these Silk Lilacs in the spring. Since then I've decided to
raise them about 4" because of spring flooding. I intend to dig a
trench next year installing a bigO so the area will always be dry. When
is the best time to transplant (raise) these trees?

I forgot to mention that in the bottom picture I have added another
cedar rail, raising the edge about 4".

That URL is no good.

Why bother if you are only going to raise them 4 inches?
