Is there a quick and easy method to check this? Not sure if mine is on, the lower control arms (not stock length) are way forward in the slot. Should the coil spring be vertical?

You can check directly off the upper ball joint or off the diff case using Go-Jeeps" conversion numbers.

Center the tire for max stuff then work on caster. Don't forget to turn the wheels to see where and if they hit. Find a ramp and see what the tire is doing up in the well first.

Forgive me stump if I don't know what you mean by this. Could you elaborate on what this does for caster? Maybe I could learn something.
