Can i use a stock front xj drive shaft in the rear with a sye instead of buying a custom one and will it hold up to driving around town and light wheeling. I have a 3.5in lift

You most definitely can! A lot of us do, including myself and don't have any issues.

Yea it definately will! I run the same with 33's, and I know others who run this setup with 35's as well. Just make sure that the CV and u-joints are all in good shape, if they're not just replace them.

Do i need to look for a specific year cherokee to pull the front drive shaft from or should all of them work except for the 84-86 ones?

You typically want to find another cherokee with an automatic and 4.0 L, they have the longest front driveshafts. Manuals will be shorter.

Sorry for all the questions but when i order the sye do i need to specify the right yoke to work with the cherokee front drive shaft or does it come with the right one?

If it's listen for a XJ then it will come with the proper yoke but they do have options to choose other sizes.
