There are a lot of different kits out there. Hack & Tap, SD, HD, Slim, etc...
I think the best deal is still http://www.4xshaft.com/.

You're going to need a new driveshaft.

oh the old one wont do with this?

Nope, you need a drive shaft that has for one a slip yoke, and B a cv joint for the angle you run the driveshaft at. Then the rear axle has to be rolled up a bit to make the cv joint work as intended, so you need either adjustable control arm or try to find the cam bolts and hope that rolls the axle up enough. The cheap fix is to drop the transfercase skid to get driveline angles somewhere close to where they belong.

The adjustable upper control arms would be better than the cam bolts. SYE conversions are fairly expensive.

Cam bolts are cheap though. I'd say in the scheme of things SYE's are fairly inexpensive. They used to cost a lot more. When they first started coming out, you'd probably be paying around $500-600 for just the SYE. I think MIT was the first shop to start making them.

I don't think cam bolts will raise the pinion enough for the proper ujoint angle, you'll likely need adjustable upper control arms.
A good sye kit can be had for around $170. I generally take a used front driveshaft from a TJ or XJ to the driveshaft shop and have it shortened and balanced to use in the rear with a sye kit.

If you SYE, you may as well tummy tuck and get that undercarriage nice and flat for max clearance. As for adjustable control arms, I run Ironman Fab 4x4 and they are real strong and beefy. Can be had with Johnny Joints or plain, full set or pair.
