I put the lift on myself and then took it to get it aligned and they said it had close to 0 degrees caster. I can adjust the lower control arms but should they increase or decrease in length? The lift kit company said "3 turns should be about 2 degrees". It is a very religious experience to drive it on the interstate so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your advice!

You want the axle to tilt backwards, so either lengthen the lowers, or shorten the uppers.
I would aim for about 6 degrees of caster. I would adjust it and take it back to the alignment shop for verification, honestly they should have done it at the time or at least called and told you that it can be adjusted but will cost more $$(depends on the shop).
Make sure they don't try and set it to 7 degrees just because it's the OEM spec.
