LOL - all I was saying is to bring caster back to stock. Failure to do so will cause flightiness at highway speeds. More would be desirable but, would most likely result in driveline vibrations with an aftermarket u-joint style shaft. If you have a 6-speed, running a factory shaft with 4-6 degs of caster will not be an issue.

So the toss up is to have decent caster with no driveline vibes.

With more lift and bigger tires, more caster is what you want. Unfortunately, too much caster can cause driveline vibrations on aftermarket shaft. Even with 4" of lift and 37" tires, I have not found 4 deg of caster (stock) to be an issue. Anything less and your jeep will feel flighty. But hey, you don't need to take my word for it ![Smile](https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.png)
