"Hey Zack,For an '87 XJ with a planned 05+ 1-ton axle swap and 6.5" 4-link, you're definitely going to need custom driveshafts on both ends — stock shafts won't cut it with that much lift and the new axle geometry.

Custom shafts.

Depending on what size u joints you plan to run on your tcase and axles would either keep you in some factory bits of driveshaft and adapting the other or custom all together.
