So, bought and installed a RK max travel 2.5 system for my'12 JKU. After my visit to the alignment shop it looks like my caster is a little strong. 7.36 on the left and 6.12 on the right. My question is this: in order to correct the caster to the recommended 4.7 I need to lengthen both front LCA's, but in the provided instructions from RK it states not to have more than 1/2" of thread showing on the LCA's. I am currently at 1/2" of thread showing. Anyone have suggestions on how to bring this in line with specs? Thanks for your input! -Kenny

Edit... I stated camber in the title, the caster is off, not the camber. Whoops

You need to shorten the LCA to reduce the caster.

Lol, disregard. Yes, shorten the lowers to lower the caster.

I have learned so much from this forum and also jk freaks. I knew nothing about Wranglers, suspensions to otherwise. But since August, I've become more and more comfortable working on my JK. I haven't done a full left yet, just a budget boost. But I think I'll be ready when I do.
