If your wanting to do it right, then i would install the sye, and a new cv driveshaft, i use tom woods and like there work. I got my sye kit off of ebay for 160.00. Cheap!

SYE and front drive shaft
On my old 93, I ran 5" with a T/C drop and it was ok
On my 97, I'm running 5" lift, PORC SYE and a Front drive shaft as a rear drive shaft. Thus I only have to carry 1 spare shaft instead of a front and rear shaft. FIRC the tailcone on the newer body style XJ are longer so a SYE is better to do than a T/C drop. Plus the SYE was $170 and easy to do.
Food for thought
