Default tattons driveshafts

so im needing to convert my rear to a a double cardan driveshaft and while on ebay i came across this double cardan drive shaft from tattons with out the slip joint in the drive shaft. it still slides in to the t-case.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/JEEP-CV-DRIV...c1b00f&vxp=mtr

i am trying to avoid the cost of an sye, becuase i do not have the time or place to install it myself. my jeep is going to be sitting at approximately 5.5 in the front and 4.5 in the rear. running a chrysler 8.25. will this driveshaft ensure i dont have any vibes? also my new leafs have 4 degree of shims.

well just spoke to tattons. he said this style shaft works good on xjs but not on tjs, yjs or cj5s because of how short they are. so im going to put my lift on and then measure and order one in i guess.

thats a reasonable price for a custom built ds, should work fine.
