for the rear link info. I already have adjustable lower links which did help but I do understand that the uppers are specifically what changes your pinion angle. How much longer are the ad uppers than 2wd one? I'm about to order upper adjustables and would like a good starting point for length.

I don't have a clue on length, but you want the rear axle pinion to point slightly below straight through the driveshaft. I use a magnetic angle finder like this one:
Wixey Digital Angle Gauge Type 2 with Magnetic Base and Backlight: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific. With the vehicle on all 4 wheels under it's own weight put the angle finder on the driveshaft lengthwise either at the very bottom (6 o'clock) or very top (12 o'clock) and zero it out, then remove the driveshaft from the rear pinion and place the angle gauge on the pinion flange vertically (the display will face either 3 o'clock or 9 o'clock), adjust your upper/lower control arms until you reach 88 (or 92) degrees. Make sure you jounce/bounce the rear suspension after each adjustment.
EDIT:
