driveshaft problems i think

[952door]

I got a 95 xj np231 and an ax15 I want to do an sye or a hack and tap unsure if the auto front sshaft will work or if I need something custom I'm not 100 percent sure ifbit makes a difference but it has a. Dana 35 which I believe is an inch shorter then the8.25" it had before

You swapped a 8 1/4 for a d35?

First off, what kinda lift do you have?

this....

however what do you mean by inch shorter? width or yoke length?

[952door]

The nose of the axle so yoke length from the center. Of the spring perch to the center of the u joint and its 95 so I went from a 27 sspline 8.25 to a super 35 with discs that I got. For a good deal

last i remember the front shaft was iffy even with an 8.25 never dun did a hack n tap but was reading a lot about em a while back. im gonna do the SYE in the end...for now i just threw an inch drop kit in. and it saved me from having to buy that right now. but again im only running 3.5" of lift

[952door]

I'm running. 3.5 too I'm just worried if my stock shaft is going ton be to short with the 35 I have a tcase drop and degree shims

[justtorchit]

Your front shaft is going to be way to short. Not because of what rear end you have, but because a ax15 is about 3-4 inches shorter than a aw4.

[hoggie101]

I ran 4.5 and no sye a fofr a long time

[952door]

So you think ifbit do the sye I'll needeke a 36 inch tom woods or something of that sort

[justtorchit]

Idk the length. I have one for an ax 15 in my garage I can measure later

[StompJrKz400]

3.5, you prolly dont need an sye, 1 inch drop, and guys i think hes talking about using a front shaft from an auto

Yeh, I know. You can't use a front auto shaft in the rear with an ax15. It's toooo short because the tranny is shorter

[952door]

Yeah that would be awesome if you could measure the shaft. I took. Quick measurements myself and guessed 36 cause I have the old. Style. 231 with the 3 bolt seal end
