Default caster help please

I have been driving my jeep for about a week sence I got the lift put on it. I have a jku with 3.5inch springs and 37 km2s. The caster is set at 6.2 and it drives and steers good. I think this is where I want it but i'm not sure. I'm using the stock front drive shaft for now with a afe pipe for clearence. And I don't think it has any vibrations. If it did would I feel it for sure? And do you guys think this sounds good?

if you aren't feeling any vibrations, you are good to go. if you had them, you would know if for sure as it can be felt in your feet and you would hear it ocillating at certain speeds. being that you are running the factory front shaft, the odds of you having vibes is low and, being that your profile shows no gear upgrade, that would keep the vibes away too.

even still, you only really start to see vibe issues when running more than factory caster, 5.13's or higher and with an aftermarket drive shaft. if you're not feeling/hearing them now, you're probably okay.
