Default Use an unlimited driveshaft on a 2dr with a lift?

Maybe this is a completely stupid question.. but!

Ive done a lot of reading on here and i understand with the 2dr, its highly recommended to replace the driveshafts if youre lifting more than 2.5".

Now my dad just lifted his 4door, and replaced his driveshafts for it, so hes still got the old ones lying around. Would it be possible to use his unlimited (longer) driveshafts for my 2door if i lift mine?

If it IS possible, is there a certain lift height that those would go with?

When you lift the JK the length of the drive shaft is not the big problem. It is the angle of the driveshaft the eats up he OEM joints.
