I have a 2015 JKUR with the Mopar Stage 3 lift kit and have been trying to improve my steering. After installing new ball joints, tie rod and drag link I got an alignment and found my caster was only 3.2 degrees. My lift kit doesn't have adjustable control arms, so I was considering replacing my lower and/or upper front control arms with adjustable ones so that I can dial in more caster. Awhile back I replaced my front stock driveshaft with an Adams 1310 Extreme. I'm wondering how much I can sacrifice pinion angle to gain caster without jeopardizing long term reliability of my shaft or driveline vibrations. I'm attaching pictures of various angle measurements I've made.
What would an ideal caster be for my setup? I know a little more than the factory setup is preferred when you have a lift/bigger tires, I've heard anywhere from 5 to 7 degrees. Do you think I could gain enough caster to make replacing control arms worth it?
