Front caster issue
Hello everybody pretty much new to the jeep life and off-roading world I recently purchased an aev geometry correction for my jk only because I did not want to run cam bolts. Any one here on the forum personally work with this product and if so can I get your opinion.
Thanks

I did a basic lift tereflex 3' with rancho shocks rough country dual steering stabilizer adjustable track bar for the front rear drop bracket.
Mainly the problem is steer wonder when hit a bump really rough.

How much actual lift height did you get? What tire size, load rate, and psi are you running? If you have had it aligned, post the specs.
The ca brackets address the caster, and they make the arms more parallel to the frame. Better steering, maybe a less harsh ride and less nose-dive, but I have not read that they have any affect on bumpsteer.
Flighty steering is generally low caster. Bump steer can be caused by the angles of the front trackbar/draglink. (too steep, or not parallel). If you want to address the steep angles, look at some form of draglink flip/high steer. If you want to check that they are parallel, snap a picture showing both ends of both bars in the same pic, open it in Paint, and draw straight lines between the mounting holes on both bars.

I have a 4" Evo lift and stock front arms on Rancho brackets.
It seems to be the perfect trade off in caster while not too much causing driveline vibes or destruction.
I have torn my front boot at the TC and it's spitting grease so it's on the way out.
I will be putting the Teraflex high angle rzeppa joint in soon and eliminating that issue.
It really becomes a balance between driveability and pinion angle.
Not.much built in wiggle room when the lift height gets to 3"+
