Why is my Caster so low?

[Dirtrider216]

I had my car lifted about a week ago with the specs in my sig, and I just relooked over my alignment sheet and it looks like I’m set to 2.6 and 2.7 for caster? Should I have it realigned to 4 degrees of caster or is this okay?
If I do have it realigned can I have th get mechanic move my toytec/ebiach/blistein setup from the bottom notch to the .85 setting?

Would there be any reason to have my car realigned with caster set to 4 degrees

I don't have a good answer for you on the caster, but if the truck drives ok, tracking straight, you should be fine.
But you can't simply jack the truck up and move the spring perch. It'll cost you a couple hundred dollars for the tech to completely remove and disassemble your struts and springs to go up to the .85 setting.

with stock uca, they can get it close to the 3. with the aftermarket ones like yours, they can set it more than that 2.7 u have. might want to try another specialty shop tho.

For me, I think I was at 2.7* to about 3* caster and it wandered around on the highway at speed.
Now its at 4.8* and it seems to go down the road at speed with less steering wheel input... I am not constantly adjusting/steering.
However, to me, it feels like it pushes more in the dirt in the corners at speed though.
I like it better. Better road manners.

It might not be possible to get 4* caster on 3" lift even with with those upper arms.
I do my own alignment in our shop and my caster is set at 3.7* max with SPC arms. I can set the upper balljoint up for more but it tilts the tire towards the rear mount.
I remember getting 2* caster only with the oem upper arm on 3" lift.
