Default SYE and drive shaft

So I'm going to be installing a rough country 4 and a 1/2 inch lift kit. I had also ordered the rough country slip yolk eliminator kit.. I'm wondering though if the front drive shaft from a stock Cherokee will fit with this kit as it does with the hack and tap kits.

Yes. Many have done exactly that (and have posted about it in the past)

$45 Drive shaft out of a Grand Cherokee for years. Just get under your rig and measure after you get the work done and go to the salvage yard and measure until you get a close match. It's not to hard to rebuild the double cardan either. You want to be sure to get the pinion angle set before running it. A bad pinion angle would ruin the double cardon pretty quickly.

Yes I've heard the pinion angle gets thrown out of whack.

it usually only off 3°-7° and just using a wedge shim between your leaf pack and axle mount.
