if you decide to try the quad shock set up you'll need the brackets that bolt to the rear frame rails on both sides, and on an 84 not sure if they have the pretapped holes where location should be cause 85 was the first year of the quad shock set up

cool^^^^^^find the brackets and a set of quads and see if that works or helps as long as you have a decent set of upper and lower control arms and no worn out bushings , you shouldn't have to many issues

well, its actually quite important for your 60' times. is the difference between a whole lot of hook vs no hook. i know for the foxes at least(not sure for the sn's) but our suspension is nearly perfect how it is stock because its very close operation wise to a 4link set up. however there is always room for improvement. normally anywhere from 2-6* pinion angle is good. to figure out where you need to be depends on your build and the demands you might have. too much angle you may have traction issue or verticle lift issued. not enough angle you lose your traction or yoour wheels hop. im at 4* with solid control arms from UPR. i think that'll be true for most solid aftermarket control arms .

i like MJR's suggestion but i know money can be tight at times so maybe just double checking pinion angle would be a cheap to to verify you are in need of your quad shocks. with aftermarket control arms, good lower control arm bushings and proper pinion angle you really shouldnt need those quadshocks.
