Aim high!
I act like a dick because of all the smart ass responses I get from shitheads like you on these shithole forums. If you're not asking about how to lift a jeep to cram 35 inch mudder's under it people don't want to help. Just talk shit. People seem to have forgotten not everyone buys a jeep to go off-road.
Its cool that someone asked if this is my first Jeep? That's not being a dick huh? No, that's cool.

I'm going to. If I'm not getting the questions answered, why would I stay? I don't need you to tell me to leave, I'll do it on my own. You might be able to read that I answered serious inquiries the only ones I don't appreciate are those that are not. What difference does it make if it is my first jeep? I was only asking how to improve upon a stock jeep. That is it and that is all. The problem is this question has the word stock in it. But no one will admit that.

As previously suggested, why not get an alignment check done before you make any changes? Know where your toe, caster, camber and thrust angles are before you dial in any improvements.

Like ronjex said alignment need to be done correctly, but I don't agree with '' track wander and flightiness aren't normal for stock JKs'' all the stock Jk I drove, rode like shit and most of them was almost brand new. Try to go over 70mph in a high speed turn and bumpy road with a stock JK, good luck...
I had 18/60 coils on my stock rubicon and the ride was firmier than with my AEV 2.5'' lift and bilstein 5100 shocks. Installing an AEV 2.5'' lift with geo brackets improved a lot the ride compared to a stock JK and my caster is close to 5 degree. I feel much more safer at high speed...

Can the caster angle be improved upon over stock? Or is it set at an ideal angle from factory?

The alignment gets checked every time it goes to the dealership. It just left the dealership after having a drag link installed. The alignment I know for a fact is fine. Again, I'm not trying to fix flightiness or track wander, please don't get fixated on those words. Obviously a jeep doesn't handle like a GT-R... It never will, all I am asking is how it can be improved upon. Such as adding better shocks. Done: bilstein. What else can I do?

Honestly, look at tires. I noticed a huge difference from going from my stock sra's to some e rated bf Goodrich km2s. I realize that e rated tires would not be recommended by most, but I got them at a steal, and I really like them. They're very stiff, and definitely improved the handling characteristics of my jeep. I also have a 2 door.
