I don't know anything about the CAs that you have. I used JBA high caster arms a: because I knew what I wanted and b: because they were best suited for the kind of driving that I do (some sand but mostly highway). If the joint is adjustable I would see if it can be adjusted Back to increase the caster. If in and out are the only options then I would go in, therefore allowing the lower front to move in as the rear sets itself out further. More caster.
As many have said before, if you're happy with how it drives then leave it be. I'm just waay too picky about my stuff.

Well it drives nice. However, my right ( driver ) front rubs on my stock skid plate at full lock on righthand turns. And this is with stock size tires. My concern is that once i go to 285s the rub will get worse. It's already bent my stock skid plate. I know i can bend that back into shape easily though. I'm gonna take it back to them and have them reset the caster to the original settings and then adjust camber at the UCA. If i had the know how, I'd do it myself, but I did pay for lifetime alignment with them so I gonna make them do it.

Similar situation and could use perspective
Installed Ironman Nitro lift (3”/2.5”) and Ironman UCA’s w/ 4* built in caster.
Went to local shop for alignment assuming it should be simple. Currently running stock wheels/tires with plans to size up to 285’s- requested caster above 4 to make space. Tech worked diligently for 2.5 hours but it was obvious he didn’t have experience. I should have asked about this before taking it in- my bad. End result is that all is in spec, but couldn’t get Caster above 3.0 on drivers side and 2.8 on passenger. It drives great, but could use some advise. Should I find a more experienced shop before buying new tires or am I being OCD that my Caster is in the low end of spec?
Before and After alignment specs below.
Does it look like the LCA cam was even adjusted or is it still in the neutral position?
I see signs of adjustment but don’t know how to read what was done.

Does This Look Right?

I’m running 285/70/17 with trd wheels and my caster is set to 4+. I still have slight run in reverse at full lock coming down my driveway.
