Default Stock drive swap?

I tore the boot on my driveshaft and i plan on replacing it with another stock shaft. Is it really plug and play(4 bolt on diff end and 8 on the t-case end?) or is there more to it? I plan on leaving the existing yoke and flanges and just inserting the drive shaft itself. A friend and fellow member mentioned drive shaft weights and having vibration issues...

What do I need to worry about here?

Thanks
Steve

I've never delt with any DS weights, at least not on my old jeeps. Not sure about the new DS, weights may be needed if you have vibrations. But if it worked good on other jeep, I don't see why it wouldn't work just fine.
