How long should my drive shaft be???
i have a 96 XJ with a automatic tranny, and i'm looking to buy a 8'' coil conversion lift kit. my only problem is i don't know how long of a drive shaft i need to buy. do i need to buy the lift then somehow measure how long of one i need or is there like a standard length for a 8'' lift??? thanks for your time

Install the kit then measure for your new shaft.
The dimension you need is from center of u-joint cap to center of u-joint cap.
Once you've got that dimension you can order the correct length shaft.
I've got a wide variety of lengths to choose from:

Your selection will be based on not only the length, but also on which type of SYE you have....and at 8" of lift you will have to install an SYE.
