Default To sye or not sye on a 3.5" lift in back.

To SYE or not to SYE? I'm on a very tight budget and would prefer as much not to have to bother if I don't need to. I'm running a 5 speed and a Dana 35, so a hack and tap will not work. Serious advice please.

from what I hear if you have a manuel and the d35 thats a longer drive shaft setup which in turn gives you better drive shaft angles. I just did a 3inch front and 4.5 rear lift and I had major vibes (auto/chry 8.25) so I had to do the SYE. I rides smooth as **** now.
