Default SYE / Driveshaft question

I just installed my RE 3.5 lift...and i really need a SYE. Ive been looking at the PORC HD one. With this I will be able to use a stock auto 4.0 front driveshaft in the rear correct?

Also, Porc offers a Super short shaft SYE, here is the info:

"The newest innovation in SYE kit's is the Extreme Short Shaft kit. It is the shortest transfer case SYE for the NV231 available . The Super Short kit utilizes several innovative features that have never before been incorporated into a SYE kit to achieve maximum driveshaft length. The Super Short kit is over 3" shorter than a standard SYE kit. The kit comes with all necessary components to modify the stock 231 case. Speedometer readings are transferred through a tone ring and electronic sensor. Ring & pinion ratio/tire size can be custom calibrated by any OEM service center to match custom ring & pinion/tire size modifications. Note: Earlier 231 applications with mechanical speedometer cable require updating to an electronic speedometer."

Would this work for my application? Also, im guessing if i went with this i wouldnt be able to use the stock front driveshaft, since it wouldnt be long enough.

Thanks.

the regular ole PORC SYE good enough. super shorts are really only needed on TJs/YJs. and yea, stock front DS works on the PORC SYE.

PORC is a very trustworthy company. Call and talk with them. I got my SYE from them and they sold me my lift too. I ordered the rear driveshaft from them and they shipped it at the same time so everything arrived in 4-5 days and I even got a follow-up call to make sure everything arrived since it was several boxes.
