I installed a TF 2.5 BB on my 09 unlimited with 33" tires. I was having some issues with twitchy steering and wandering. Ruts in the freeway are scary. Checked the alignment today, toe was too far in, (now corrected). The caster read 2.5 and 2.0. Can I get the camber bolts to give enough correction or do I need to get adj. lca? Or is caster even my problem?

Lower frt adj control arms will adjust your castor and get rid of the flightyness. Stay away from cambolts as they have a tendency to loosen. Camber is not adj on jk's unless you get an off set ball joint, and you only need that if your axle C is bent.

2.0 caster? I would never use cam bolts. If you decide to move up later you will have to get washers and stuff welded on to the brackets. If you are going to do something, I would say get the adj. arms. Teraflex makes some nice ones

what they said, cam bolts are a cheap fix that doesn't do well over the long haul and i would recommend getting adjustable control arms instead.

Your caster should be at +4.2 deg or higher! You need adj. control arms.

Ok. You guys just convinced me to order some adj lca's. Man was I easy or what?

BTW, are you sure about those caster numbers? with just a 2.5"BB, it shouldn't be that off.

Well, those are the #'s on my print out. Left 2.5* Right 2.0*. Camber, left -0.1* right -0.1*.

Terflex on the way. Thanks for the coaxing.

You will love them. No worries about some little old lady asking where the beef is. It is in those control arms! I made my passenger side lower the tiny bit longer it suggested in the instructions. My jeep used to pull and dive to the right if I slammed on the brakes, but now you can nail the brakes without even grabbing the wheel. It doesn't pull one bit. Fantastic!!!
