I took my Jeep in for a six month re-alignment and they have everything right on spec except for camber, which is just out of spec on the positive side. I have the JBA A-arms and I made sure I installed them correctly, so I think the issue is the alignment tech only doing what the computer says. I figure the caster can still be adjusted which will also change the camber a little bit, hopefully bringing it into spec. I would think out of sepc caster would be better than camber. Has anyone else had to deal with this before? If anyone has any good recommendations in the Detroit area, let me know.

Camber must be as close to the center specs as possible
If you get the Toe and camber within specs you are good
Lifted you can sacrifice some caster

How high are you sitting? I know at 4" the KKs can't seem to get camber in. I think I'm on the edge at 3.5"(21.5" center of hub to fender).
