Default New drive shaft needed for SYE install for 3" lift?
I have a 2000 XJ 4.0 Sport with a 3" lift. About to order an SYE. Do I need a new longer rear drive shaft and can you point me to a link on which to buy?

SYE I'm buying.

90% of people at 3 inches don't need a sye.And on the driveshaft you won't know the length tell you install that sye and measure it.

I still have slight vibrations and grinding going on even after a 1" TC drop. I need to install an SYE to get rid of this problem.

Just pick up another front drive shaft (needed with SYE) and use for the rear it should fit fine and if so rebuild the u-joints then.
