So I should be around 4 degrees for caster?

With 2.5-3" of lift I'd say 5*.

Yes 4-5°

I'm going in tomorrow so they can fix the problem so hopefully it's the caster!

Also be aware those ball joints take 1000 miles to break in. After you install and grease them they will be stiff and the steering wheel will not 100% recenter until broken in.

thanks, good to know.

So my caster is low at 3.5 degrees!
im going to have them bring it up to the 4 to 5 degree range and see if that helps.

That will make a big difference--you'll have a lot more on center steering feel--the steering wheel will better want to return to center buy itself. Do be aware that as you push the caster higher, you're increasing the pinon angle. Unless you've replaced the driveshafts with something designed for higher pinion angles, then could have an earlier failure of the Rzeppa joint in the OEM driveshaft. They will start spitting grease when the joint is failing. Keep an eye on them and either repair the Rzeppa joint (I don't recommend) or replace the driveshaft (I do recommend). I went 120K miles before mine failed, so it's just something to be aware of and keep an eye on.

So I got my caster up to 4.5 degrees and it feels better. Not like it used to be but better then it was my jeeps not all over the road anymore. And my steering stabilizer is toast not that a new one would help.
