Caster angle ?
Installed 3" OME lift with lower teraflex
Control arms and JKS tracbar.
Where do I put the angle finder to check caster and what should i run?
I also used the lengths the teraflex instructions came with for the control arms.
Running 37" bfg ta ko as well.
Help appreciated.

There is an alignment writeup in the Suspension/Steering area, and also in Troubleshooting.

You can't measure the actual caster angle without being on an alignment rack.
You CAN measure how much you change it, though.
So, get an alignment check and note the caster angle. If you want to adjust it at home, you can put the angle gauge on some area of the axle that you can repeat the same position. Note what the gauge says before and after you make the adjustment. The difference will be how much you changed the angle.
