Long LCA install

[RickinAZ]

I’m still surprised by how many members use the MOPAR kit’s LCAs to adjust caster. They’ll help, but they won’t get you to 6°.

For those looking to improve highway manners, adjustable LCAs from a quality manufacturer are worth considering. Given what we spend on our Jeeps and all the other upgrades we make, it seems like a relatively small investment for something that can make a noticeable difference in how your Jeep drives.

Honestly, if you haven’t driven a Jeep with 6° of caster on the highway, you might not realize what you’re missing. It’s one of those improvements you really appreciate once you experience it firsthand.

You got a very valid point.
What do you suggest a good pair of adjustable LCA? And is it only Lower or Upper as well?

I’ve done just lowers on my past three Wranglers. Teraflex in my case—super beefy. What surprised me early on is how a little goes a long way. You’ll only need to adjust them to no more than 1/4” longer than the fixed-length Mopars. But that 1/4” is instantly noticeable.

I think Wranglers sometimes disqualify themselves from consideration by prospective buyers because of their flighty steering. If Jeep were better attuned to this, they’d put longer LCAs on at the factory and avoid losing those sales.

One of the major reasons some go with the Mopar Performance LCA's is the fact they are genuine mopar accessory covered by your factory warranty. And if you should have an issue such as death wobble or some obscure suspension you will not run into the "You modified your suspension so its not covered".

On my 25FE I ended up with a caster a hair under 6 which made me happy and made a noticeable difference. Plus the price was right and merely a fraction of what other aftermarket LCA's cost. For me it was a win-win.

I wonder why this Mopar lCA yields varying results. For instance in my case before adding the springs, the LCA’s got the caster to 5.3 deg only!! What could be different?
