Aligment question
I have checked older post but was unable to find the info I am hoping to get. I installed a zone off road 2 inch lift not springs just spacers I did not want to change the ride, it drives fine don't really notice a difference from the stock ride but I finally got around to getting the alignment check and I found my caster is almost 2 degrees low on both sides for the sake of a number say 2 degrees, anyway I was hoping to get away with the OE bolt and eccentric washer kit to correct it. Front end is tight if this won't work what would I be looking at to correct this spec 2011 2dr sport
Thanks
Thanks

Cam Bolts, Brackets, one set of either Fixed Control Arms or Adjustable Control Arms. They each have pro's/con's. Cams are cheap, but have been known to slip and put you right back at the low caster, but may not be a bad call for onroad only with a low budget. Several mfg's make longer/shorter fixed control arms to adjust the caster, but you will need to check into them to see how much caster they adjust for. Adjustable control arms are the most expensive, but if you go for front uppers rather than lowers you can save some money.

Ok I will look into those if I can get the cam washers to correct it to keep it from slipping back what would you thing about a small tax weld ?
I also plan on doing the AEV measurement and gather some more info and make the best decision thank you

Way back in the day, I started with a 2" budget boost. The AEV brackets got me right where I needed to and I used the middle hole.

Why would caster be that low at 2" ?
He's right AEV list a min coil measurement to run their brackets. I would do arms in this situation.
Either uppers or fixed length lowers... Both will be cheaper.
