front YJ driveshaft with 3.5" RE lift and SYE?
(Preview)
Will it work? There's one in the local pick-a-part, so if these are longer than the front XJ shafts or front ZJ shafts, then I'd like it (supposedly the ZJ shaft leaves only about an inch of extension with the dana 35) Thanks! -Matt

I am not in the position to lock either one of my axles but want to eventually. So my question is "What is the benefit of locking the front over the rear first or vice-versa?" Some lock the front first and others lock the rear first, what are the benefits of doing it one way or the other?
