SYE on a 4 door?
So I Know that after lifting a two door, its a good idea to get a SYE, What about on a 4 door? 
since its longer and the DS isnt at such a great angle as a 2dr would be. Im lifted on 5.5 rock krawler x factor long arm system with 35s.

The SYE are not needed on the newer jeeps (JKs & JKUs). Those are meant for the older TJs, YJs & CJs. All you would need is to get aftermarket driveshafts along with adjustable control arms to address that much lift...

When installing an aftermarket drive shaft most companies recommend/require adjustable control arms to set ur pinion angles. Your lift kit has adjustable control arms so you should be fine.

O ok I see. Whats the reason for needing a different drive shaft? just a longer one? I want to get one anyway with more strength since its going to be so much more exposed, should I get a longer one?

as already stated, you don't need one for the jk. The jk transfer case is a different model.
