    Yes. There is more caster to be had there. They generally cant max the caster bc of also camber needing to be in spec. But there is plenty to be had.

    " i need 3 to 5 degrees of caster, i understand that you need to keep camber in spec, but I want as much as possible"

    I doubt that they can get more than around 5, but i have ran about 4.8 on a similar setup in the past.

    Left and right cam bolts should look about the same but not exact bc every vehicle is different. Sometimes they will also do road crown correction and give the driver side a little less caster.

    I appreciate it man. You are right! I just found this email from JBA in my inbox from when I bought them.

    IMG_4618.jpg This was lowkey stressing me out because the rubbing was preventing me from trail riding which was the whole point of lifting. Really appreciate the advice guys.

    Misconception that is causing you a headache, time and money.
    Most likely it will still rub under specific circumstances. -11 offset is not helping

    Shit I found on CL or EBAY that I could screw on.
    Find a 4x4 shop that will do custom work. All other alignment places will just get it green on the computer. Have them move the wheels as far forward as they can. Then, take out the screws attaching the wheel well liners to the fender on the very bottom front. push the wheel well liner forward and put new screws in. That's about the best you can do. This is on JBA's, with -12 20250502_145233 (1).jpg

    I agree, "inner fender mod" for the front and then you can also do a mini viper cut or just trim the front bumper a little.


    There are also different levels of a body mount chops, some can be a little more aggressive with it compared to other shops.
