Test it before the SYE is installed. Should no damage anything. Just make sure that the yoke goes in far enough.
I have just over 3" in the back with stock d-shaft and no vibes. 89xj aw4/np231

hack and tap is modifying the existing transfer case rear output shaft in order to use a fixed yoke.

check your transfer case cross-member. if you have a t-case drop, it's gonna be a 1" block between the frame and the cross-member.

I have a 92 with the aw4 and np231. I have 6.5" of lift with a tcase drop, and 4 degree shims on my axles, i have no sye, and a stock driveshaft. I have no vibrations, and no binding, even at full flex or full droop.
