yeah.. typically, if you have an auto xj and stick with around 3-4" of lift, you can find a stock front xj/zj shaft that will work.

They have different lengths also. I used this since have an ax-15. The longest xj shaft would have been short by atleast 3" if not more.

actually, it's the front i'm talkin about. i dont know from self experience, but ive read when you are in 4wd and locked in front, it will try to keep pushing you straight, when you are trying to turn. and it's made quite a few butts clench.

I don't know how Dustin did it for so long!

I'm already dreaming of 60's with 5.38 gears!
