Wobbles have nothing to do with caster. It's most likely bolts that need to be tightened, tire balance issues, or worn ball joints. Extending the LCA's or a little to increase caster will help tracking and eliminate flightly steering. Adding caster will also increase your pinion angle making the stock front drive shaft rzeppa joint fail more quickly.

Thanks, I will check and tighten everything. As far as caster and pinion angle, will it make any difference if I use shorter upper control arms or longer lower control arms to adjust caster? I'm concerned about increasing the length at the axle for the drive shaft. Maybe I'm over-analyzing this, but I look at it in terms of triangle geometry, if I increase the length of the base of the triangle (LCA) the hypotenuse (drive shaft) will also need to be increased...
Don't over think it, Install lower adjustables and call it good!
