The thing with cam bolts is you are limited with the amount of correction. I believe its 1.5° so if you are at 2° thats only 3.5° of caster angle.
Other options not mentioned
Adjustable ball joints .. Yes besides camber balljoints can be used for caster. gary2 and AssFrow are two members who added caster with
Balljoints.
Cut and turn c's
More work then what its worth so wont go into details.

At 2.5" of lift the axle shift is minimal and the front and rear axle will shift just about the same amount. We are talking maybe .25" at that height. I did this write up a while back to explain the shifts. Determining adjustable control arm lengths and loss of wheel base caused by lifting.
You can also jack up the body jeep 2.5" and measure the changes.

For the sake of having the same argument that has been discussed a million times on these forums, but for the benefit of a Newbie reading this thread:
There is a reason EVERY SINGLE lift 3" or more comes with an adj TB or TB bracket to center your front axle. And every lift above 2" (including a freaking budget boost) comes with at least a bracket to help center your rear axle.
Ask your self why that is if the "minimal" shift (as described) doesn't matter.
