So on the caster....I have AEV CA brackets on 2.5" coils and my numbers are similar, but the Jeep drives really well. I put in 8 hours at 70mph without issue (aside from fuel mileage). Dunno why yours mirrors mine but it was also done at a station that uses that older style alignment machine. I've been thinking about going to one with a newer, high dollar Hunter.

That's really surprising you have brackets and still end up that low. I drove my jeep good 3+ years I think with similar caster (no correction but a higher lift). I didn't think it was terrible, was just my normal. When I was finally able to get some arms and get that caster higher, I could tell a big difference. I'd think it would be magnified with a shorter wheel base.

No caster correction. Stock arm replacement.
I'm taking it back there tomorrow to get the steering wheel centered. It will be easier with me in the Jeep.

Ok steering wheel centered. I'm outta time (surf forecast looking great) to fork lift test it before this trip but I definitely am glad I have new bumpstops in especially rears. I'm glad I got the alignment. It had been 2-3 years and the Jeep feels like it is driving great.
I'll update this thread when I get back and do the test.
