Hey All-
Although I just recently had my JK aligned professionally, upon reading this link it seems fairly simple:

One question I had was on taking the caster measurements - either on top of the ball joint or the other location mentioned. While the write up doesn't specifically mention checking both sides id assume that's what's needed?
In other words, the goal is positive 4.2 degrees when measured from the top of the ball joints on both the driver and passenger side with an angle finder/protractor - so adjust the arms whichever way (shorten or lengthen on each side) until you get 4.2 degrees on both sides.
Is that correct?
- Once I better understand this, ill likely be doing my own alignments
