You should not need to change driveshafts when you change gears. Now if you were altering your lift at the same time, that is another matter.

I'm gonna guess OP is still on factory DS, and the desire to upgrade is more about knowing the factory DS is sure to die on 4.5" lift. Also going to guess OP is thinking about doing it while regearing as they'd be changing the pinion yoke; however, there are options out there as well to bolt right up to the factory flange if you so choose.
Many different DS manufacturers out there, and they're all about the same considering drive shaft is a pretty simple component. Adams makes a nice unit that is priced right. Tom Woods, JE Reel, Rubicon Express, G2......there's a ton out there. You could even get a local shop to make you one. Sometimes that's cheaper. I'd look at getting one with a solid u-joint. That is one thing to look for.
