If you have longer rebound travel from your shocks, you need to check the UJ's don't bind at full travel.

The shock absorbers define the rebound travel and the bump stops (or springs) define the bump travel. If you still have standard shocks, the travel won't have changed. The static ride height is just moved to a different place in the travel when lift springs are fitted.

I suspect you will need wide angle propshafts. All you can do is sit the chassis on stands, drop the axle to full rebound and check the shaft rotation.

You are highly unlikely to get to the situation where both wheels are at full rebound, unless you take off, but it makes sure the worst case is covered.

I would certainly get wide angle props depending on how much droop travel you have.  They are about 150 each.
As for the castor corrected front arms, i personally havnt but only have a 2" lift, i think you could get away without them on a 3" lift but you may need them.
THe rear cranked ones will be a must if you want any articulation before the chassis to trailing arm bush binds up
