I have a 2021 Rubicon Unlimited and I installed the Mopar lift kit which gained me 2.75'' of lift. The Jeep drove decent with this lift as is but from researching I decided to add adjustable lower control arms. I purchased the Clayton Overland Plus LCA and set them to 24.5'' and now the Jeep seems to wander more and the wife is not happy since it's her daily driver. I'm thinking that I may have the LCA set too long based off of a cheap digital level that I have. Let me stress again this is a cheap digital level so I don't know how accurate it really is. I took the following measurements and got these results.
Top ball joint 8 degrees
Bottom ball joint 9 degrees
Flats on rear end housing 0 degrees
My level sit better on the bottom ball joint so I think that's the difference in the top and bottom readings. From everything I've read the caster should be between 5.5 - 6.5 for the best on road driving. I have an appointment to get it aligned next Monday so should I leave it until I have real numbers or shorten the LCA just a little? Could it also be the toe in after lifting that's causing it to drive a litte different?
