Default Sye for my 3 inch lift?

I got a 99 xj with aw4 and 231 tc. And 3 inch lift


I installed 1 inch tc drop and all is good. Then I decided I would want to upgrade to 4.5 inch lift in the future and I would need a sye. I'm buying one today and I'm wondering if I have to wait to get 4.5 inch lift installed first or can I install it with my 3 inch lift currently on the xj?

Can I use front driveshaft on my 3 inch lift set up? I tried searching for answers but I keep getting threads about jeep builds. Which doesn't really help lol.

Anyone have that experience?

Yes.

Remove the POS spacer thingy, install the SYE and put an Auto 4.0 XJ front shaft in the rear.

Will work perfectly.

This seems to be the hot topic of the week.

Ok. My question is. Will the sye and the driveshaft still fit after I add 1.5 -2 inches of lift to my current set up in the future?

Or will I have to get/fab up another driveshaft after lifting it some more?
