2WD driveshaft longer?

Hey everyone,

I was BSing with some guy about XJs and he was telling me that 2WD driveshafts are longer because there is no t-case and that they can be used on a higher lift as a temporary fix. Is there any truth to this? just curious. Thanks

It all depends on what the length difference is.

Yes, 2wd driveshafts are longer, driveshafts that came of d35s are longer than ones that came off of 8.25s and so on, and yes you can use different length driveshafts for lifts depending on how high you go.
