To lengthen drive shaft or not?

My project Rex 05 Rubicon is comming along nicely, thanks to your help. I am, however, unsatisfied with the transfer case lowering bracket in my 4" lift. The engine sits all kittywampus under the hood and the shifter bumps the back of the console in 2,4, and R. I want to get rid of the T case drop kit and put everything back where it belongs. If the Rubicon has the SYE kit already, do I even need this T case lowering kit, and do I need to have the rear drive shaft cut and lengthened? How do I know if the shaft needs to be longer?
 

I would recommend a CV rear driveshaft and adjustable upper control arms in the rear. These will allow you to point the rear axle pinion up at the transfer case yoke for proper ujoint angles and no vibes, without the TC drop.
