No, they are speakin' the Gospel.
Park it till you can afford the SYE and custom shaft.

 

7.5" of lift and no vibes until the long arms!?!?! wow your lucky

 

Rubicon makes a hack and tap that realitively cheap. Just be carefull when you do it !! After that use the front cv shaft off a cherokee and your set !!

 

whats a hack and tap ? what do u do hack off the main output shaft on the t case. but if im gonna use the cv shaft from the front . how do i get a yoke on it .. lol im confused

 

The Rubicon hack/tap is a flange arrangment. The factory XJ front shaft needs a yoke style CV. So it's not a bolt-in deal. You can convert the CV .... but by the time you buy the correct parts and new ujoints --- you have saved nothing.

i disagree. did mine for under $250 sye and shaft work...def. saved a bunch

 

It's entirely possible to do it .... here is how I came up with the costs ....





Junkyard shaft ... $25 bucks
Ujoints (3 of them) .... $60 bucks
Labor to shorten & rebalance .... $80 bucks
New centering ball assembly ... $70 bucks


Total - $235 (assuming your splines are in good shape)


That's also assuming you can do everything but the shorten/rebalance ....



These are local prices for all the parts need to rebuild a front shaft and bolt it in.



Every situation is different .... but I can sell you a brand new shaft for not much more than the cost of "properly" rebuilding your old one. But again .... I'm giving you a full cost. If you have a known good shaft -- the total cost could very well be much lower.
