Do you have the guage to measure the caster degree? that length will vary depending on the actual results of your lift. Same lift on two different rigs can have different lengths. As long at you have gauge you can easily start from scratch.

I assume yo have one similar to this. Even though I adjusted the Caster myself I still took my wrangler to the local tire shop to have them verify and document my caster and toe on their computer just in case of a warranty issue with Mopar I would have documentation (it was cheap to have verified)

@Brooklynjlu2018 - Not sure if this will assist you, but my Teraflex LCA had recommended lengths for how much lift was gained. I would think the measurements should be similar for your LCAs as a starting point. Just measure the actual lift that your 2” Mopar lift netted you. I’d start around 3”, then adjust from there.

Note current caster angle, remove and measure existing arms precisely, and add a 1/4 inch more length to the new ones and measure again. How much you under shoot or over shoot the angle should allow you to make a manageable number of adjustments to get it nailed quickly.
