Default Driveline angle / adjustable control arm question...

I installed my new Tatton rear driveshaft today. The driveline is at a pretty bad angle and it really starts vibrating around 25 mph. Do I need rear uppers or rear lowers to line it back up? What brand is best? What kind of prices have you guys paid? Please help!

Hard to say at this point. It's been in the Jeep for about 6 hours! It's a big beefy shaft and seems to be really well built. I got mine with everything included (shaft, yokes, bolts) shipped to my house for $425.

Any opinion on the Skyjacker control arms?

Alot of people who have the Skyjacker control arms talk about failing bushings and stuff like that. The Currie arms seem to be preferred on here, but Rusty's Off road seems to make some good ones. I will be ordering front lowers and rear uppers from rusty's. They're pretty beefy, have forged flexends (which makes me think they are stronger) and together will only cost $430. Win, win IMO
