Ok here it is. Im running 5 degrees of caster.

The adjustable arms will be going in soon. How much caster should I be looking at with the new arms?

+4.2° is what you have factory. i typically recommend that you go to about +6°. if your front driveshaft can handle more without vibrating at higher speeds, i'd go +7°. of course, you really should still try and address your trackbar/draglink. getting them flatter will make a difference as well. also, with your 37's, try to make sure that you are running them at about 26-28 psi. that'll help some too.

Run the control arms at 23 1/4" with stock upper control arms will give you about 6-7 degrees of caster. WOL gave me this measurement and it was perfect. My Jeep drives true and no vibes!

That is if you have adjustable uppers. If its stock use 23 1/4" on both sides. That is what I did and got a 6-7 degree caster. Its hard to tell since the degree marks are so close but its right between 6-7.

No, I still run the stock drivelines. Ive had the lift on for 6000 miles. I plan on a new front driveline in the future

Same here, driveshafts are not needed right away if ever. Depends on what you want to do. If I break then I will fix it stronger but the driveshafts have been really good to me on and off road!

Is that hole to hole straight line measurement, or something else?
Mine get here in 4 days, hopefully the Curries work out well for me.
