What is your caster at now?

Check your ball joints, TREs and track bar mount. Also check your toe. I bet you will find more issues than just caster angle.

Nobody makes arms for a 3" lift. 3 1/2" lift arms will give you excessive caster.

As a point of reference, stock arms are 15.75" long, 3" lift would require 16" arms and 4" would be 16.33".
