That's the route I'm going on my TJ. The 4.5" BDS kit is pretty sweet. Can't wait !

If you go 4.5, will you need new drive shafts?

Yes. You already have an SYE so all you need are the driveshafts. With most 4"Kits you can get away with a Transfer case drop. But any more than 4" and you'll need driveshafts. About another 5- $600.00 for both.

Front shaft should be fine. Rear will need to be new CV type. Also to get the rear angle correct you will need upper rear adjustable control arms. For a while use the TC lowering. If the Kit does not have it you can have mine. I am not using it.

You already have a CV style setup, you shouldn't need the slip yoke.
