Default Having a driveshaft built..but..

Hello Jeepers...I hope everyone had a great weekend. I did, but unfortunately tore my front driveshaft boot and slid off a ledge into a tree, smashing up my windshield frame and drivers door...sweet I knew the shaft would break relatively soon. I am running 33' tires in an unlimited with an OME HD set up. I have a Driveline shop in the city i work in. My question is....I have not yet installed any adjustable arms. I plan on having the driveline shop build me a new shaft. What will I need to avoid driveline vibrations? and avoid having to replace the shaft again? Can I get away with just front lower arms or should both upper and lower be done prior to installing a new shaft? Thanks as always

In a perfect world, get all eight. But, you can probably get away with just the front uppers to rotate your pinion angle. The lowers would be nice to help with this and also center your axle in the wheel well.
