Default Adjustable Upper Rear Control Arms

I have a 3" Teraflex spring lift on my 2DR with stock control arms. Since the driveline geometry has been compromised, would adding rear upper adjustable control arms to change pinion angle help me even with a stock drive shaft? I'm just looking to postpone the investment in a custom drive shaft.

Yes they will help correct the angle of your rear driveshaft!

No it will only help the boot on the axel end by making it center again

You will need the dbl cv ds in the long run
I know how you feel waiting to get more coin so I can go to 3" and uppers fr and back and new ds all at once

If you get a new drive shaft you MUST get the control arms, otherwise you will have serious vibrations. If you get the control arms first you can probably milk a few thousand out of the stock shaft before it fails.....but it will fail at the worst possible time.
