Hit up any junkyard in jersey. Get a front driveshaft out of a 4.0 aw4(automatic) 4x4 Cherokee and you should be good.

At 5 inches of lift, you want a slip yoke eliminator and CV driveshaft (either custom made or a stock front shaft might work)

The front shaft swap won't work on a 5 speed. The 5 speed transmission is shorter than an AW4 so the rear shaft needs to be about 35 inches long with a 4.5 inch lift and a SYE kit.

I have a sye in it already, I just mainly need the rear driveshaft because I'm getting a bad vibration when I accelerate, I looked at it and I need the double yolk that's connects to the sye and transfer case

you know they are rebuildable right? get a new centering ball and three u joints and get to work, then if still vibrating then get the drive shaft balanced. DONE

Oops, thatsright. Well, he can look for one of the longer grand shafts that might work..or if he's got dough, hit up a local driveline shop and have them build you a custom ds

Default Tattans Driveline New Shafts, Great Price

Your best bet is a new Heavy Duty shaft from Tatton's Driveline.
Complete with double cardon and Spicer 1310 joints. Large splines and long engagement. Guaranteed not to break. Balanced to 100mph
About $230. Shipped, from Salt Lake City. Curtis Tatton is his name. Fast turnaround
I have them on front and rear. You will need the measurment of 'center-cap to center-cap' with truck sitting on level ground.
