I had to do the drive shaft immediately....killer vibes!
Also put a RTE "block" on the rear axle A frame link...this pushed the rear axle back an inch or two to ensure the "footprint" remained the same.

I ran 3" lift with RTE rear links and stock front arms for awhile.
No vibes.
Put 1" spacers on it and got vibes. Put a DII front shaft on and all was fine.

From what I understand, none of this is an exact science. Some vehicles experience vibrations, others don't. I remember when I lifted my P38, I got some slight vibration. So I got a GB driveshaft. That made the vibrations worse. I had Bill check the driveshaft again, reinstalled it, and still had worse vibes. So I went back to a standard driveshaft and barely noticed the vibrations.

Yup, 3" RTE lift here, only added rear links from Keith. Wee bit of wandering up front but nothing I can't live with right now. No vibrations but I will be changing over to a DII front drive shaft when I put in the LT230. Probably get the front arms at that point just because.

I ran a 3in with front and rear RTE links/ arms. I was running a DII front shaft with an LT230-DII output flange. No vibes at all.
