Measure it. I got a 31.5" d.s. out of a grand Cherokee. Different cherokees and grand cherokees have different lengths. I found a jy Cherokee with a 32.5 shaft but it was dented. Probably had a 44 but I didn't babe the money so I didn't look :-(

Sorry that was for freegdr... my jeep was sitting around 7.5" with no sye and it was fine. I lowered it to 5.5 and its even better. The longer d.s. helped and I guess I got a good yoke.
