[QUOTE="cpwolf, post: 429117, member: 19674"] What caster angle are others getting to work well with 2-3" lift and 35's? Background on my setup: 08 JK 2" suspension lift and 1" body lift. We have fairly new 35" BFG muds. Doesn't return to straight well. If I'm doing 50mph and the road curves, if I don't bring it back to straight, it likes to stay in that curve. Same with small adjustments while driving, if you adjust in your lane a little....it stays turned and you have to adjust it back yourself or you're jumping lanes. Gets more annoying at higher speeds. I'm not an expert, but after a lot of reading it seems that Castor may be an issue, so I measured with a digital level and the pics are below, reading 3.4 degrees on the driver ball joint and 87.1 and 87.4 on the vertical flats by diff, if I read Chris' directions on measuring correct on the How To thread.

It rides great for the most part other than this. JK experienced folks, are these angles way off? With this setup, would these drive these results, or should I be looking elsewhere? If this looks like the issue, and any suggestions on lower CA's? I got all Savvy Double Adjustable that I just put on my TJ, from the bend in these, I'm not sure DA is an option? [/QUOTE]
