Default CV driveline

So I'm throwing around ideas in my head for a lift. I've decided I'm gonna go with about 5-6" and some 35s.
What do you guys think of the CV divelines? Is it necessary for a lift that size? Is it worth the money?

The cv shafts I had were amazing, but I was running them on a full size 89 Blazer, and they were 1/4 wall, 1410 at the diff, and 1350 at the trans. So they worked well for what I needed. Is it necessary, put the lift on and check it out, if they vibrate, you need them. Is it worth the money, only if you need them.

With that amount of lift I would see its pretty much absolutely necessary. Do a Hack and Tap SYE and a front driveshaft in the rear if your looking to do it on the cheap.

4.5" is the accepted max lift where you can get away with no SYE and CV rear ds.

Anything above that and its a necessity. Hell I'm at 3" of lift and I'm looking into getting a SYE and CV ds before I go any bigger.
