Default Did you change or address caster????

Just put my lift on (2.5" front - 1 3/4" rear) and it looks (leveled) great and rides nice. with the 33" BFG AT. I had it realigned just to make sure everything was back in line. The only thing that was off was the caster and that is just barely out of spec. It rides and handles great, not darty at all. The tech. wanted to use cam bolts and I said no because of the pain in the ass they were on my TJ. I know I can do the control arms but it handles great I'm not sure I need to. What have you guys been doing or not doing about caster? If I do go with new arms what is most critical uppers/lowers, front/rear? Thanks for the input I can't believe what I've learned on hear and how much I didn't know while I owned my TJ.

I wondered if the caster had something to do with my death wobble. They claimed it was fine but I m taking it in again. I believe its that or I need an adjustable track bar?

I get a wobble/shimmy/shake at about 50mph and up. The faster I go the worse it gets. I think the caster is still out by about three degrees and am considering replacing the control arms.

Do need to replace the top and bottoms for this?
