Seen this thread in Tapatalk, and immediately ordered one up! :)

Yah finding the balance is probably the tough part. I'm just going to adjust to 86ish (mentioned in a few places I've searched) and go from there. If anybody has any more input feel free. I'm going to be messing with this and a few other things in a couple days when I have some days off...

Gotcha. But as mentioned. The top ball joint should be pointing more towards the rear correct? Yet in that article it states, "Top of diff should be tilting forwards. The more it tilts the less caster you have." If the top of the diff points forward then the ball joint would be doing the same.

Alright so I got sidetracked with some life and other jeep stuff, (popping out upper rear shock bolts, new speedo sensor, un freezing my t-case from rust and figuring out the 4wd indicator light, sensor is bad need to replace). Now i'm back with an update and some more info and pictures. As far...

Yah I just had an alignment done the same day after I got my new tires put on, (I wish it was $40ish, after a coupon, $73.xx...ouch). Granted it was done at Pep-Boys, but I even talked to the tech who did it. He said that other than my drag link being bottomed out (to correct steering wheel...

Ok so I can't seem to edit my first post with some updated info, I guess I'll just have to reply. Got side-tracked with some other things around the house, so I wasn't able to look at the caster. However I did do the pitman arm, and just looking at the pic and a slight guesstimation as to the...

Oohhh. Well all right then. It already appears to be trailing the lower. When I go out there later to do the pitman arm, I'll pull the wheel and post up what I got. In addition to the new control arms. When I installed them, I based the length off of the RE ones so the specs should be the same.

Initially I got the drop pitman arm to hopefully relieve some of the steering stress and angle of the TRE's (seemed steep, but I think my boots were just too shot lol). Just looking at the pic in hindsight this is going to be my first step. This is good to know about the track bar. I was always...

So I'm going through and upgrading parts in preparations for another new york winter..yay...However now I have bad wander and bump steer. From my reading, the track bar and drag link have to be on the same plane, or as close to it as possible. I have/had the Rubicon Express 4.5" Super Flex lift...

I'm honestly not thrilled by this option as from experience the stealership has been known to overcharge with simple stuff. I thought about going this route, but I'm still unsure on the actual bolt length. From what I've been looking at 120 seems to be the standard length, but 110mm should be...

Part 1: So I've searched (used the handy search feature), along with a google search. Most places I Have seen have the following specs (copied from somewhere I forget): All 6 leaf spring bolts are: M14x2.0x120mm The track bar bolt is: M10 - 1.5 x 75mm LCA bolts are: M14 - 2.0 x 120mm UCA...
