Putting an 8.8 stock height XJ

Hey Naxja... I've been having some insurance issues as of late and I will be returning my Cherokee back to stock height (I know I know :puke:)
But I want to be saver than sorry...

I'm only going to be running 235/75/15s but will an exploder diff still fit under a stock height truck or will I run into all sorts of clearance issues?

At stock height, will I still need a SYE? Or can I get away with a factory 8.25 shaft?

I am 99% sure my factory rear drive shaft (D35) will be too long after I factor in the adapter flange

I already have the 8.8 sitting in my garage... I can always unload it, but I kind of wanted rear disk brakes for ease of maintenance...
 
I dont think you will have any clearance issues with the 8.8 at stock height. What insurance issues could you be having that would require returning to stock height?
 
Make sure you have bumpstops and you will be fine.

Not sure on driveshaft length though.
