Default Replacement cv drive shaft doesn't fit 6.5" Long Arm Lifts?

I am looking to buy the Rough Country 6.5" X-Series Long Arm suspension lift kit for my 1992 Cherokee 4.0. I see that it is recomended to replace the cv driveshaft and install a slip yoke eliminator, but it says that the driveshaft will not fit any 6 cylinder automatics. Are there driveshafts other than the one on their website that will work? They say theirs is from Tom Woods Driveshafts. What can I do? What do I do???

i just read the parts list for that kit and what they mean by that is that your rear drive-shaft as it sits stock will not work for that amount of lift... and far as the CV driveshaft goes, after you install the slip-yoke eliminator kit you will need a custom rear CV driveshaft made.

x2 TW made me install my lift and SYE and then take measurements for the correct length of the drive shaft. Do it once and do it right. Go TW. Get service and product!
