Rebuild front suspension with or without upper control arm shims?

For what it's worth this is a frame-off project. As shown in the image, I found the upper control arms using two 1/8" shims at the rear and two 1/8"shims at the front. The fronts had two 1/16" shims as well, which I suspect were added post factory, but who knows.

Do you recommend I rebuild this with the same shim configuration or? It has to go in for alignment anyway, but....... Thank you
