Default Teraflex flexarm/ CASTER questions

Ok, I have the Teraflex 2.5" Coil lift with 315/75/16 Duratracs. I am thinking of pulling the trigger on the Teraflex lower flexarms, but have some questions... My CASTER is 2.7˚ on the left and 3.0˚ on the right. It feels like my Jeep pulls left, and the steering is not completely straight, even after the alignment. Is my understanding correct that the Flexarms will push the axle forward (is CASTER related to forward and backward?) Is there a setting for the flexarms depending on lift height, or does it depend on the individual Jeep? Will the flexarms equalize both sides?

Thanks all!

edit made... CASTER, not CAMBER

I have the TeraFlex adjustable front lowers and they will do exactly what you think, allow you to adjust the caster. The amount of adjustment needed will be dependent on the height of your lift. The instructions that came with the arms had measurements for stock and several lift heights for use as a reference.

In my case I just installed front lowers and adjusted as needed. The wheel is still centered in the well and pinion angle is not bad.

Awesome, thank you! I think I am going to order from Northridge shortly!
