? about AX-15 trans

I just bought an AX-15 trans for my 89 XJ and was wondering if the old drive shafts from the old BA-10/5 trans will be ok to go back up or are they to long or short?

They will differ, I believe the AX-15 is a longer housing, so your rear DS might be too long, and your front DS might end up too short.
just make sure they don't bind when fully extended or collapsed.
You can get a DS from pull it yards and, sometimes ZJ shafts will work
They come in different lengths. depending on year and size. I think the V8 ZJ front shaft is the longest front you can get.

Ok I'll have to see if I can find the DS for the AX. Thanks for the help. I'm new to this whole thing. If anyone has any more suggestions I'm open to it.
