Your best bet would be to drop your drive shaft and measure the length fully extended.  I would think that a 4" lift would not be big enough to need a longer drive shaft, but a quick measurement should confirm that.

A 4" lift should not be big enough to need a longer drive shaft.  I had a 4" lift on a Grand Cherokee and I ran the stock drive shaft with no problems.

Have to lenghten the rear shaft for sure..or go to a SYE kit. you may get away with it for a while, but with the looks of it not for long  rockon
