Got a SYE from Advanced adapters. I have a 1999 XJ with a 4.5 RE lift, NP231 TC and 8.25 rearend. Thousands of these lift have been done i'm sure. But nobody can tell me what length driveline to get? Not even advance adapters?, Rubicon, anybody? I just don't want to be without my jeep for a week after I measure it and wait for a driveline to be built? Are XJ's all different?

You can use a front drive shaft off a xj.

call rusty the have a list f the most common shaft lengths

When you use a SYE don't you have to have a driveshaft that now has a slip yoke? I haven't even look at the front shaft, does it have one?
And any year XJ?

i wanted to know the same thing, but from what i understand eveyones car is just a bit diffrent. so I decided to just wait and meauser after i put the kit on to be sure and not have any problems...and if you need to move it it just throw it in 4x4, but i wouldnt reccomend driving it on anywhere far, maybe just out of the garrage or w/e

jfiedler

and yes you do need an shaft with the slip in the shaft....

JeepingDan

Yup it's got a slip yoke. Just grab one from a j/y and save the bolts with it cause your gonna need them. I got this one from a 94 it should not be any different from a 99.
I've beat the crap out of it and no problems at all. People do this all the time.
But I know the Tom Woods is more beefy so you can get this and get the woods shaft and then have this as a spare for the front or back.

Now thats a great idea! back to the jy to go rip the shafts out of the couple of xjs they have there!! and this should help me get running for a while while i wait for my woods drive shaft

mxjunkie80

J/Y? Or did you mean Y/J?
And it take "zero" modifications to work?

mxjunkie80

J/Y or Y/J? We are so close to my answer, please??
thanks for the pics also, you guys are great! But i'm being serious about the JY or YJ question, I'm new to jeeps.

mxjunkue80 he's saying goto a junk yard and pull the front drive shaft off a similar model XJ as yours.

mxjunkie80

Perfect. That's what I needed to know. Thanks!

mxjunkie80
