Default Can I use a front xj driveshaft?

Hey guys,

I'm about to purchase a 4.5'' RE lift kit and want to know which driveshafts I could use to replace the back once I put and SYE on it. I heard maybe the front xj shaft? or the back WJ shaft?

Has anyone done this already and knows which one to use?

Thanks

I am using a stock XJ driveshaft in the rear of mine lifted about 4.5".

Certain driveshafts from ZJ's are an inch longer.

Google will tell you which ones.

I'm at around 6" of lift, and the ZJ shaft was too long for mine. Luckily someone from work had an extra XJ front shaft, and gave it to me free of charge. Awesome.
