I'm about to lift my XJ 4.5 inches. I know of some folks with a 4.5 that didn't need an SYE or shafts. When I lift mine what are the signs to look for that I would need an SYE etc. ?
 
any vibes, plus you can check the pinion angles
 
most likley you will not need one with an older xj, make sure that you use a t case drop though, I did a 4.5 on my buddy's 89 and put on the tcase drop and he has no driveline vibes or death wable.
 
I did a lil over 5 inches in the back and right at 5 in the front.
I used the t case drop that came with my kit,and had NO vibes with an 89.
About 2 weeks ago i swapped out my stock springs, with 3 inch block and 1.5 shackle for a re 4.5 full leaf pack and the 1.5 shackle.I now have vibes from about 5 -25 mph.
im not gonna fool with it as i am planning to put my d44 in in a few weeks and i dont drive it much(2-3 time a week)If i have vibes then, i will go the SYE andTW shaft$$$$$$
