Death wobble

I just put on an OME light kit yesterday and part of today. Along with the OME stuff I got the rear currie links, front JKS detachable sway bar links, front and rear adjustable track bars, front and rear bumpstops and Teraflex front lower control arms.
I know it is a bit of overkill with the added stuff, but I did not want to wish that I had more later and have to do the reinstall all over. (I guess if I add a new bumper and /or winch then I will need the HD and will have to start all over ... but I have no plans for that).
Anyway my question is how do you know when you have the lower control arms adjusted correctly? I have 33" tires (they measure exactly 32" on my rims). When I checked the caster before the install I had 6 degrees (yes I even measured the ground the jeep was sitting on). Now that I have the install completed and I guestimated the proper length of the lower control arms based on some other threads, I have a my caster is at 8 degrees. Is that bad or is that acceptable?
The jeep drives nice, but since I just finished it about an hour ago I have no idea how it is offroad.

Based on this write-up regarding alignment, your Caster is good to go!

I think I've seen a write up on the installation of your OME kit, minus all of the great parts you added. It may contains some additional details.

This steering stabilizer fixed it on mine never had a problem since I tried a few others and this system is the only one that truly solved it.
Rough Country Dual Steering Stabilizer Kit I'd put where I got it but I don't know if they are a sponser or not. Google is your friend !
