And you'll want long arms or a control arm drop. For it to ride decent

Does anyone with a LP 30 and a 3-4.5" lift have a picture of their pinion angle. Curious about something. And is adjustable upper CA the only way to adjuster the pinion angle. 01 XJ AW4 3" lift front 4.5" rear with SYE

There are some shims you can put in the factory LCA mount on the frame to help move the caster angle which will effect pinion angle some, but for the most part yes. I have also seen some 30's with a weird adjustable hole with some kind of locking collar thing on it to allow for some adjustability, but I never had one and never messed with anyone elses.
