Just found another thread, and they are talking about your issue. Never be about this. They are saying you would still need a SYE to add the front shaft to the rear

i did a hack n tap on the t-case and used a front drive shaft in the rear.
now with the dana 44 being a little longer at the pinion im looking to see if there is a front drive shaft thatv will work with the dana 44.

As far as I can tell and have read, the same length front shaft will work with an 8.25 and Dana44, it's the Dana35 (depending on lift height) that may require a longer shaft..
Worse comes to worse you could pull your front shaft and test fit it in the rear before going out and buying one.
I have the same year XJ (98) and will be installing a Hack n Tap and an XJ Dana44 along with 6.5" leafs soon myself.
