Teraflex 3.5" post lift alignment specs

[Bobby_S.O.R.]

22" JT Rubicon- Installed the 3.5” Alpine RT3 Short Arm Extended-Travel Suspension System, Falkon shocks and steering stabilizer.

After I figured out the torque specs were wrong from Terflex (referencing NM as FTLBs and breaking bolts repeatedly. *Example the torque value said 140-160ftlbs for a M12 bolt and industry standard says 87ftlbs or 140-160 NM = over torquing hardware and causing potential for bolts to break on the trail.) Went and bought new hardware, swapped it all out, and got it done / installed correctly. I called Teraflex and told them what I found and how their own manuals conflict with each other for the same process/step. The guy on the phone didn't seem too interested in what I was telling them, so I gave up on the help there.

Problem I have now is it is like I am driving on ice all the time and like I am driving my old 1965 CJ5 at 75 mph Jeep without power steering.

I have read that the post alignment figures are different than OEM specs, but I can't find any details on it. Like add 1* Caster, etc. Attached are the before/after alignment figures I am at currently.

Tire pressure is set to 32psi cold. (Wear is still in the middle and will likely drop a couple more psi. (caulk test)
Shocks all set to the same setting (2.4 on the dial)
Stabilizer set to firm to help with the walking/skating

Anyone have any information they can help out with? Thanks in advance for the help... Gotta get this figured out!

What is up with that camber??? Have you checked your ball joints?

Took it back and had the alignment checked again after ~500 miles. Everything shifted and toe went out a bit. Here is the before and after from that one. These guys said they couldn't adjust the caster, even though I have adjustable UCA and LCA's, so I bought a digital angle finder and will tweak them to 6.2% (as I have read in several forums being the "sweet spot"). It is better than it was, but still a bit squirrely at highway speeds on certain surfaces. Manageable now, but will see what the result from the caster tweak.
