Default lca length for 4 " lift

Hey everyone, I'm new on this forum, have been reading it for quite some time.
Sure seems to be alot of helpful info. My story is , just put a rc 3.5 lift on 2007 4 door. I am pleased with the quality but the caster i,m sure is the problem according to you folks .The kit came with new fixed lca which are 22 7/8" long center to center which they say puts it back to factory specs. It drives "flighty" as described many times before.Since i have equipment I made the factory arms adjustable and set them to 23 1/4" long which seems to give me 7 degrees caster, drives alot better.I still have factory uppers ,toe in is 1/8".My question is could somebody with adjustable lca's and stock uca's measure your lca's and see if my setup seems right. I would very much appreciate the help. i have learned alot on this forum. I am sure i"ll have more questions in the future.

23" is usually what i recommend so being a 1/4" longer should be okay.

Default lca length

Thanks, i have read that alot 23".I think i am going to make some adjustments just to see if i can run a little less caster. Although i took it out on another road test and on the highway drove alot better and no vibes.
