Default do i need a SYE?

i put longer short arms on the rear and it pulled my slip yolk drive shaft out and it looks like this...




...so i figured i would just get it rebuilt a little longer, but i called the driveline place and they said "for the lifted jeeps you need to get a slip yolk eliminator kit, if you just got it longer it wouldnt work very good" i only got 3.5" of lift and i always heard that they where pointless on the grand cherokees. i just rebuilt the transfercase 2 days ago and theres no way im taking it out again. Should i just get it rebuilt longer anyways???

You don't need an SYE yet. However if you plan to go bigger and you have the time and $ it wont hurt to do it now.

A longer shaft would be cheaper
