Found a great video that could maybe help someone else. Even though it's a jk, it has some great info.

Your link doesn't work and I'm not typing all that ****.
Check your front hub unit bearings.

I was just looking at your profile and read that you have a 3" OME lift and 2" spacers. Your mean like coil spacers or body lift spacers? Because if you're at 5" of lift with stock control arms, that could be a very good reason for your caster to be jacked. It wouldn't explain you getting bumpsteer unless your adjustable track bar isn't adjusted right.
Can we see some pictures of the setup. Maybe a nice front view shot and a side view from the wheel well so we can see what kind of angle those arms are at.

Send us some pictures of that geometry. Side shot of the arms and front shot. I think it might help some folks get a better Idea of what's going on.
