Anyway my question is how do you know when you have the lower control arms adjusted correctly? I have 33" tires (they measure exactly 32" on my rims). When I checked the caster before the install I had 6 degrees (yes I even measured the ground the jeep was sitting on). Now that I have the install completed and I guestimated the proper length of the lower control arms based on some other threads, I have a my caster is at 8 degrees. Is that bad or is that acceptable?

The jeep drives nice, but since I just finished it about an hour ago I have no idea how it is offroad.


Based on this write-up regarding alignment, your Caster is good to go!

I think I've seen a write up on the installation of your OME kit, minus all of the great parts you added. It may contains some additional details.

Rough Country Dual Steering Stabilizer Kit I'd put where I got it but I don't know if they are a sponser or not. Google is your friend !

second thing I would suggest to go with control arm and pitman.
I have a HD TF steering stabilizer. Still have DW so it does not fix the problem.
