What size lift and tires are you running?

Got any pics? Your front castor should be somewhere around 5 and 7 degrees.

The rear pinion should be set within a few degrees of the driveline. Don't want too much pinion angle or you may starve the pinion bearing of gear oil. This is doubtful on a 4 door.

Don't remember if you have stock driveshafts or not

Definitely a tall 4"
I cut mine when I had 33s with 3 1/2 in. Looked ok but looks a lot better with 35s now.

It would be an good excuse for 37s

Some like the feel of more castor when lifted with bigger tires (around 7 degrees). I started at 5, went up to 7, then moved back down to 5. Play around with it a bit and see what you like best. I think 5 is a good starting point.

Its going to be tough to get 5-7 degrees without drive line angle problem at the dif.
