When in doubt, go to a good alignment tech who knows jeeps. Get your caster between 4-5 degrees where you have no driveline vibes and you are good to go. You will most likely end up with 23" eye to eye anyways.
Good luck

I did 23" center to center eye and it drives and tracks perfectly now and I measured the degree angle with the same johnson pendilum angle finder used by wol and it is dead on 7 degrees. I originally did 22 and 7/8"s and it was better than the stock arms but still a little flighty and the track was all over, 23 and it is GREAT!
Now I'm 5" of lift and so far the census is 3-3.5 of caster. I hate those driveline vibes.
We shall see this weekend how things work out.
