Post driveshaft modification

i own a 95 f150 short bed 4x4 302V8, i put on a 6" superlift kit. the rear was 2" blocks and 4" leafs, and i was wondering if i needed to do anything to the drive shaft or any further angle adjustment. i get some small vibration when i take off. i hear both, modify it or do nothing.
also anyone have any suggestions for new gears in the 8.8 rear and the dana front 44?

thanks
anthony

Look at this:

It's probably a matter of longevity and reliability of the u-joint. If you don't mind changing them all the time, leave it.
