who is the triad (closer to asheboro the better) is the best with jeep aligning adjustable control arms. JLU with 3ish inch lift. I think it needs more caster my crude guess is 4 to 4.5 degrees and drives all over. Looking to add adjustable arms and get it dialed in.
 
These 2 tape measures an angle finder and a couple of hours I took it to be aligned after and my goal numbers were on point on the rack


It’s a fun project, but if you don’t have major frame damage you probably will just need to adjust the uppers an even amount after getting the side to side with the track bar and recentering the steering wheel with the drag link then finish with toe
 
I've never had a Jeep professionally aligned. Tape measure is all you need. Digital angle finder on the knuckle is handy, but you can tell the caster from road feel. If you've lifted it and haven't added longer lowers or cranked the adjusters out, it almost certainly needs more.

Lowers are better for caster adjustment, uppers more for axle location.

Gotcha yea its got adjustable tracbar and longer fixed lowers but it isn't enough. might just add adjustable lowers to get caster to around 7.

Yeah, I like them with lots of caster. I'm not sure what angle ours are, but my FILs TJ has a budget boost and stock arms and feels twitchy in comparison.
