Does anybody have the magic number for caster settings?
I am going to get an alignment done on the JK in the near future. I am trying to figure out what caster setting I should tell them to shoot for. I see planman says 4 to 5 degrees, and Wayoflife says 6 to 7 degrees. I am running a 4" lift with 35" tires, and will be running Coast driveshafts once they come in. Does anybody have a setting that will still provide the best driveability and still not get to may driveshaft vibes?
Thanks,
Thanks,

I was told to go with as much positive caster as you can get with no vibration. It is a balance between handling and driveshaft angle. I have a 4.5" Trailmaster kit and ended up at 5.5 degrees positive. Handles very well, no bumpsteer or vibration from the front driveshaft.
