if your caster is close to correct i believe your pinion should be angling slightly up if not directly at the transfer case....thats where i will start with mine...
ok im going off this write up http://go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoAlignment.htm and on the angle finder the angle can go either way so i got a little confused.

There are two machined flat spots on the front of the differential housing, one on each side of the cover.
I sit the angle finder's magnetic edge on one of them, with the angle finder pointed up and down, perpendicular to the axle.
Once you have your reading, use Go Jeep's chart to determine you caster.
With a lot more difficulty, you can directly read the caster off the top of the upper ball joint.

There's a flat spot next to the bottom ball joint that reads the same angles, if your inclinometer will work upside down.
