Caster setting and bump stops

I had a local shop install front and rear Evo bolt on Coilovers with Synergy Long arms. When I got it back I noticed the bump stops don’t line up well with the extension pads. I’ve been trying to figure out if I need to lessen the caster some or move the axel forward a bit or both. I figured as many people on here that run a similar setup may have some advice.

You've got waaaay too much caster set. You're at about 7.7 and you really should be closer to 4-5.

you have to measure pinion angle at the flange or yoke, not the housing as pictured above.

You clearly have bad angles at the pinion/driveshaft.

I'd rotate your axle forward until you get to 4-5 degrees caster. This will make your pinion angle better, but I don't think you can get it perfect.
Factory caster is 4.2 degrees.
