thats not where to measure from , the bottom of the c's is where to measure from

I should also say this is just for reference because the c is not perfectly flat , but it will give you good Idea where it is at

Do you have to make the control arms longer or shorter to get more caster, and is it the uppers or lowers that you have to adjust.
I have rock krawler uppers and lower control arms.

You would either lengthen the lowers or shorten the uppers. You want to essentially rotate the bottom of the axle forward and the top backward to get more positive caster

Out of curiosity, which control arms are you looking at?
