U-joints and rear driveshaft

[idriveajeep]

Ive got a 95 xj and i need to do a driveshaft and ujoints. I heard you can use a front auto driveshaft for the rear.

And also what type of ujoint do i use? 153x?

[Burton58]

you have to do a slip yoke eliminator in order to use a front shaft in the rear

[idriveajeep]

ok with that being said, how are the rugged ridge sye's?

[Burton58]

looks good to me, comes with everything you need. FYI it doesn't work for np242 transfer cases

[Burton58]

oh and the u-joints are spicer 1310

[idriveajeep]

well thats good because i have a np231

now to the ujoints, what ones? are the tom woods superflex ujoints worth it? and what size?

[Burton58]

i have no experience with tom woods joints. i just run spicer 1310 joints from the auto parts store

[idriveajeep]

awesome thank you, my u-joints are clackity clack clack and I need to do them like yesterday. I figured since i was in there i would do the sye too.

If your going to do an sye then whybother redoing ujoints in your stock rear shaft, which post-sye will be useless? Better off putting money into buying new shaft vs. Old one

[Burton58]

x2 i assumed you meant the front xj shafts for front and rear

[idriveajeep]

yes hence why i wanted to know about using a front drive shaft in the rear.

Here, it'll save ya a few bucks and is a great kit. It's what I ran and many others here do with no issues
