Default Fix castor direction?

I have 285 with a 1 3/5 front coil spacer. My castor is reading 3.1 with castor not being terribly low what would be the best option to raise it. I don't wanna spend over 200 on lower adjustables. Cam bolt seem shady and lower Aev bracket is only for 2.5 inches or higher. Is there any other option or did I ansmwer my own question and pull the trigger on adjustables.

1-3/4" spacer lift "shouldn't" require anything....however, adjustable arms would be the way to go. Stay away from cam bolts!

If it doesn't drive poorly I'd say nothing needed. Go control arms if you do.

I put Rock Krawler front lowers on mine last weekend, huge improvement. (Don't attempt without a bench vise to tighten the jam nut. I don't feel good about how tight I got mine.)

I'll yell this out for emphasis:

DO NOT USE CAM BOLTS!

I did and it was the dumbest thing I did to my Jeep. Go with new arms, or leave it if the ride and handling are OK.
