Default budget SYE??

anyone here heard of doing a sye kit and running a XJ front driveshaft?? im on a budget so it sounded like a good idea to me. one guy posted that he got axle shims as well. what will i need to make it work for my 98' XJ? can i pull a front shaft from an XJ of the same year or close to it. what year range XJ's am i looking for.??
