Removed the brackets on replacement axle to make way for new Artec brackets.
View attachment 5319 Currently my front drive shaft is out due to the dc joint failing. While doing the alignment today I had 6* left and 6.5* right caster. Reading a lot recommending 5-5.5 for a 4"+ lift. Jeep is still a little squirrelly. I think I need to get my rear steer ahead dead set. It was .14* so didn't mess with it. I set toe slightly toe in. Also my rear axle is about 3/8" off center and the front is almost 1/2". I guess I should really get the axles perfectly centered then worry about the alignment. Any recommendations on alignment? Any of you guys use an alignment rack?
Sway bar looks broken, likely the links. (hanging super low)Going to check out this Jeep this morning. Possibly Jeep #20.

Nate on dirtlifestyle uses lasers.... Seems to be a really good option if you know what you're looking for.
i was pretty green back then. I think most of my issues were axles not square to the frame. After a lot of tweaking and measuring i got it figured out.
the jeep has changed a lot since then. Rides like a dream and I know for certain not a single laser was used in getting it set up.
I think it looks good.
Mine is Pioneer. The yellow was my choice. It is part of a plan involving hydro dipping that is proving to have bit of learning curve but definitely still in the works.
This is early attempt that had to be taken back to yellow.

Just doing brackets not truss? Ask as thought passenger side upper control arm bracket had to come off as well.
More importantly now that you are good at it want to do another
Can you explain "force balance" for me? He used balance beads from the chart. Thanks
