Air Suspension Rangie's - How do the prop shafts handle it?

I've been hearing that if I raise the disco 4in I'll run into troubles with the prop staft vibrating too much at the front, and will need one of these double UVs.
How do air suspension rangie's handle this problem. Can I just steal a prop shaft off a written of 96 rangie and use that?
Prices people, prices!~

The front propshafts are the same on 3.9 and 4.2 , according to Paddock PRC9542
This would cover coil and air.
Air suspension has the same travel as coils. A 4inch lift needs longer shocks, camber correction etc.
You will need a shaft with at least a CV joint at the transfer end.
I am sure others can give you more detail.

4 inch lift will require:
Front:
springs.
Shocks, new front shock towers.
Longer brake lines.
Castor correction (rotate swvell balls tocorrectt)
Frnt radisa arms will need altering IE: front chassy mount will be under undue stress.
Set font diff up with the pinion pointing at the output flange on transfer case and run a double cardan joint at t/case end.
Rear:
Springs.
relocate top shock mount to suit new longer shocks.
longer brake line.
drive shaft may work but Iwould point diff pinion at t/case out put and again run d/cardan joint at t/csae end.
