What’s your castor (JLs only)

I always try to keep my caster set at about stock when running factory axles. On my 1-tons with locking hubs, I'll go up to about 5-6° but no more.

IIRC when I had 3.5” springs I just tried to match stock castor best I could.

Did not do anything, just set everything as per EVO instructions and it was and still is perfect after 70k miles

Mike, I’ll verify mine today, but should be around stock, but where I have it set with 3.5 springs and Overland brackets it feel’s like stock.

Ok, the consensus is stock… that’s good enough for me. Rencho had me set it to 6 for spring issues but it feels terrible. Setting it back to stock and using Eddie’s trick with the upper isolaters. Thanks guys.
 
+6.3 both sides, this is with a complete suspension upgrade but only about an inch lift over factory XR package, wanted a LCG build that would fit 37's. She drives and handles great with 37" KO2's, no pull, no drift and no vibrations! Have tested at +85mph...


This is just a readout taken (note it says current measurements) after I finished suspension mods including full Synergy suspension and APEX 2.5 ton tie rod and drag link. Tried to be ultra precise measuring OEM tie rod and was shooting for +6.5 degrees caster, used SteerSmarts alignment jig, accurate levels, laser and digital angle finder...Still got damn lucky that no adjustments were needed! This made me very happy because I hate screwing with jam nuts, which APEX uses on their steering kit...
