I have the 2.5 coil lift on my two door and I set mine at 23 passenger and 22 7/8 driver. The extra 1/8 makes it drive straight to compensate for the crown of the road.
Also I tried 23 1/4 first but that gave me a vibration, I found the above measurements to be the sweet spot for my rig.

Read the blurb on Caster in the faq's (top of this modified area)
https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...ery-Newbie-Has
Read the section on Setting Your Caster in the DIY Alignment write-up. (write-ups area, there is an index at the top)
http://project-jk.com/jeep-jk-write-...-end-alignment
-Note that the numbers from an angle finder do NOT equal the numbers on an alignment rack. They are just an easy way to get you in the ballpaark.
Realize that setting the control arm lengths to a certain 'measurement' will give YOU a specific caster angle. Use that same measurement on someone elses JK, and guess what? Different caster angles! Why? Because more than likely, they have a different setup, giving them a different 'actual' lift height. So, go on the assumption that a measurement is a starting point. Not a one-size-fits-all setting that will work for everyone.

and to the poster above me, yeah I know everyone is going to go with a custom setup, I just wanted to get pointed in the right direction. I think the 2 biggest issues I had were a) not knowing where to measure so I didn't have any type of ball park and b) not being very precise with the measurements. Hopefully tomorrow i'll have it all fixed up

Like what, down to a pep boys or to an offroad shop? I might go the lazy route so I can install my trackbar and steering stabilizer tomorrow.
