Good video guys, but I have a question about caster.
At stock ride height, the caster is pre set and, as far as I know, isn't something that can be adjusted, right? So, if I lift it, even a couple of inches, (3 for example) doesn't that change the caster angle, and the pinion angle for the front axel? Also, would having a high pinion, or low pinion differential make a difference?
I ask because my 1990 XJ is lifted 3 inches.
It's a HP D30. The steering is light, but it tends to wander a bit at slower speeds. My daughter has a 99XJ with a HP D30, but hers is not lifted.
her steering takes more effort, and tends to wander a tiny bit at highway speeds.
Both have new components, and are properly aligned. What do you guys think?

Another great video, and afterwards the tommy eating hotdogs vid started auto playing, my 10 month old was mesmerized, pretty sure there's gotta be something subliminal in it... Oh well time to go buy some more pabst.
