You guys are in luck because I just put these on my 2014 JKUR after installing an AEV 2.5 XT lift . I also align cars for a living AND I measured everything before and after . With that in mind my caster was approx 4.0 degrees stock from the factory give or take a tenth of a degree .After installing the 2.5 XT kit it went down to 2.7 degrees .I installed the brackets and put it in the 2.5 top hole and it went back up to 4.1 degrees .

I installed one of these 2.5 XT kits on my 09 Rubi a year ago and put the arms in the middle hole which is the 3.5 lift hole and the caster went from approx 2.7 dgrees to 5.0 degrees which was a little more than I wanted .

You don't really need to install the brackets with the budget boost spacer type lifts but any time you lift the Jeep without changing anything it shortens up the caster.

Hope this helps .
