you need the SYE no matter what without that you will run into more problems and more money daily. the tom woods driveshafts are highly recamended, i now someone who ran 6.5+" and he used 2 stock xj shafts till they broke then used some grand cherokee ones. but the tom woods ones are measured exactly for the angles and length you will need with that size lift. when i put my 6.5" lift in i will be getting a new front and rear shaft from tom woods. do it right the first way so you dont run into a bottomless pit of money you could have avoided.

def buy the SYE like i said and then just go to a JY and measure the cherokee and grand cherokee shafts to see if they will be the right size if your looking to save some money.
