Default Long Travel Yoke VS SYE?

I Definitely don't have enough $$ for an SYE Kit, and I want to end up at 5" of lift. I'm at 3" Right now, and I want to add my 2" Coil spacers and Shackles on, but my Driveline is fairly extended and dont want to go bigger than 5" lift. , so I found this-

from rusty's for about 60$ As long as i dont go over 5" will this be cool?

Wranglers have a longer T-Case Yoke? What years would be ideal for the swap?

Jake, go with what Mike said. Rusty's is just out to make a buck with that "long travel" yoke. It probably is the same exact part umber as the TJ yoke you could get at any JY. They're just selling it as a "long travel" so XJ guys will pay more for it.

Haha I can always count on you Buck to tell me what I wanna hear (and whats the right thing to do at the same time!!) Haha maybe I should just PM you from now on instead of cluttering up the XJ/MJ Tech Section.
