Default Tom Woods SYE?

I have a 4.5" Lift on my XJ, running no SYE. Looking to one, Rusty's sells a Tom Woods SYE the advanced adapters for 480$. Now can I keep the original driveshaft with this?

Any suggestions, anything cheaper or the right route to go? I dont have that bad of vibrations, and I go threw u-joints every year.

np231? yes right here (with 1310 CV yoke). or just buy any SYE and take your front drive shaft and put it in the rear. then go to the junk yard and pick up another shaft for the front

I'm running this, and a front driveshaft off of a ZJ I think it was:

Over two years and no trouble.

Quick ? I'm at 4.5' right now, If I did another AAL and upgraded to 5.5' coils with already doing break line relocating when I did the lift, that extra amount of lift will it hurt it, anything else I should be aware of?

you cannot re use the stock rear shaft with an SYE. the whole point of an SYE is to delete the rear driveshaft and replace it with one that doesnt slip. you need to put a CV driveshaft in. you're adding another leaf to the stock rears? it may hurt pinion angle and if it does you will need degree shims
