If it's just articulating, the pumpkin (diff) doesn't really move much. One side goes up, one side goes down.

You can always have the driveshaft lengthened a little to make up the difference. A standard wheelbase YJ or TJ only needs maybe an extra inch or so with a 4" lift.

I'm not saying that a SYE is a bad idea or anything, it's just not always required.
