7 degrees caster on a 4" lift will destroy your front driveshaft. You want to be at about 4.2-4.5 degrees in the front.

Rear caster does not apply to a JK as an alignment spec. Instead, the issue of concern is the rear pinion to driveshaft angle.

Where are you getting your information?

He changed his opinion but never updated the FAQ.

You want factory spec caster with a 4" lift--especially with an aftermarket front driveshaft.
