Its making me sick...
 
So I lift my jeep 3" and put 33"s on it, as soon as I do that my GKN driveshaft gives up. So i read on here I can convert to a U joint driveshaft easily (no one gives specifics) so i get a d30 yoke and a u joint driveshaft... Not to any suprise the d30 yoke and spicer driveshaft bolt holes are not even close to lining up.... More money wasted and still no 4x4. I guess ill have to drop 400.00 for another GKN shaft that everyone says is garbage!!!!

Whoa, there. I assume you are talking about the CV joint? The standard yoke and the CV yoke are different. You just need to get the proper yoke. I used to have that type of drive line on an 85 and the 86 I have now. They don't like lift and will go south on you. Just get the CV yoke, and maybe you can return the one you have now?

I bought a dana 30 yoke off of ebay and also a U joint type driveshaft that came out of a 4.0 4x4 cherokee w/ a dana 30 front.... Where would I get the yoke to fit that?

Ebay again. When I converted a wrangler transfer case to work on my zj, I had to change to input gear to match my driveshaft. It was easy

Sometimes you have to watch what you get off Ebay. If you want the correct yoke the first time every time with great customer service and guaranteed satisfaction, call Advance Adapters. If yo had gotten it from them and told them what you were doing you would have the right one and if not they would make it right.
