Default Lift question

I'm going to run a 5.5" lift kit with 35s can I run that without a sye kit or regearing the rear end also do I have to lengthen the driveshaft? I am aware I will get vibrations so don't post on here being smart

You will have to use an SYE at that height. Vibs in your driveline means that you are destroying your u-joints.

Your rig will perform very poorly and your gas mileage will suck without regearing.
