Default tc drop for re 3.5"? and other related ?'s

As the title says.
I have a rubicon 3.5" with full leafs coming and trying to get all my ducks in a row before the install begins.
So far I got the lift kit, shocks, dt3000's. New oem shackles. Mine looked like junk.
Still looking for a new steering stabilizer. What else should I replace while I'm at it?

X2 I have a 2000 I lifted about 3.5, maybe 4 inches, and I have no vibes from the rear. I'm happy I ran out of time and never put mine in.

When I did my RE 3.5 I ended up with 6 in the rear and 4.5 in the front for the first couple weeks. The rear settled to about 4.5 (about 4 even with full tank of gas) and the front to 4. If your shackle bushings are as bad as mine you'd get another .25-.5 lift just from the new shackles. Dunno how RE lifts are now though, since they're under new ownership. I wasn't planning on doing a tcase drop or SYE but the little bit of extra lift sure as heck have me driveline vibes, well who knows maybe I woulda got them even with 3.5
