Default Differential Swap

Im doing a complete differential swap on my 86 LX.
Im putting aftermarket upper and lower control arms
as well.
From what Ive been reading on the forum I gather i dont need to
attach the dog bone weight back on the rear and I can do away with
the quad shocks as well.
Is my line I thinking correct with these two things?????

Thanks..

put everything that came off, back on. the dogbone will reduce vibrations, and the quad shocks (if they are still good) will keep your car from getting wheel hop. Which is incredibly likely, since you probably bought garbage control arms.

They were from CJ Pony Parts. I think they were 165.00 or something like that.
