Hey guys im new on here!!

I found this 96 cherokee and im thinking about buying it. its got a lift on it and i know a 4.0 but thats about all i know. he said it needs a extended rear drive shaft. are there any driveshafts from other trucks that fit right up to it that are longer than the stock one. or is there a spacer of some sort that will extend it? thanks for any help guys. im trying to keep the price down but any help is great.

Need a lot more info or pictures to help much. IF the DS is too short, you will have to do a Slip Yoke Eliminator. And a new or used 2 piece driveshaft. You can use a stock front shaft.

motoandrew

I dont think it has a driveshaft at all. i have heard about the front driveshaft. will that fit perfectly and is it off of any cherokee that you can do that with?

i will try and post pics

motoandrew

here is a picture. i am getting it for cheap and just going to fix it up some.

I like Looks "tough" ones like that people ask 1,200 to 1,500 round here kinda crazy... I picked up my 88 stock with 130,xxx. For 800$..

motoandrew

yea this one is for 600

motoandrew

so do you think thats about a 4.5" lift or more? and do you think its worth getting?

Weird to say but I think it looks sick

freegdr

a stock shaft will fit ,4.5 lift should not need a longer one

motoandrew

so do you think that is a bigger lift. im not sure what it is. all the owner says is that it needs a extended driveshaft casue the lift. also do you know what will fit?

Asking me? I've got jeepatitis, so Im gonna say get, I drag orphaned xj's home all the time.. LOL. If it runs and the axles are good its well worth the money.. u can always part it out...

motoandrew

yea thats what i was thinking. so do you thing a front shaft would work fine on this
