Added a Mopar lift to my JLR recently then had it aligned. Not sure what I am reading with these results, can someone help me to understand if there is anything here I can improve on?

Your caster is absurdly low IMO.
Could do with some longer or adjustable LCAs.
As for the rest, besides setting the toe there isn’t much you can adjust on the Jeep.

From your caster reading , I would guess you got 3” or more of lift. As Jerry mentioned, you might look into adjustable lower control arms. You’d like your caster at or around 6 degrees, this will reduce, or eliminate any wandering on the highway.

Yea I was thinking possibly adjustable LCAs in the future anyway as I have seen a lot of members on here recommend 6-7*s of castor.

Thanks for the Tips guys.

Measurements came out to be 2.5"s in the Front 3 in the back.

Just ask @cosine he knows!
I assume your Mopar lift came with the new control arms, if not you will need them,

I’ve installed over a dozen Mopar lifts on all models, and not one of them was exactly 2”. Those control arms are designed for up to 2”, that’s why they’re so successful on stock rubis and sports and Sahara’s with Rubi takeoff suspensions. But they’re just not long enough to get the desired amount of caster for good drivability. They put the caster in spec, but that doesn’t mean it’s optimal.

Darn, I guess you need adjustable LCAs to get another 1/4" length.
