Correct specs for alignments
Guys,
Now that I have my new shocks, steering stabs and adjustable LCA's (with a 2.5"" lift).
I am putting the jeep in tomorrow for an "alignment"
I know this question has been asked millions of times here, but I want this to be my final alignment for quite some time.
What should the specs be for toe, caster and anything else I need to be concerned with?
I'd like to simply tell the alignment guys I want .... caster, ..... toe, etc etc.
Any help would be great.

They can recenter the steering too. After that there really is nothing else to adjust unless you have an adjustable track bar.

specs
Stock spec for caster is 4.2 degrees. Toe in is 1/16 to 1/8 inch. If you are running 35 or 37s some people have said handling is better with a bit more caster e.g. closer to 4.8 or 5 degrees but I have not tried it.
