Ok Derek, I saw my spare shafts and thought "I better measure them now Or I never will..." so here they are...

Short side is 25.5", with 10" stub so inner shaft is 15.5" long u-joint center to end
Long aide is 42", with 10" stub so inner shaft is 32" long u-joint center to end
Stub was measured, 10" from tip to center of U-joint.

And just because I like to here are pics of such a boring topic lol

Just in case someone wants some bolt in locked axles... D30 front, 9" rear... Naxja

For the Naxja Haters.... RME4X4

not amazing, but decent, re-geared, locked, bolt in... little wide to cover though...

Took about four hours actually, a little experience and antisieze on the first install are a big help.
I think I dropped about $500 on the new goodies (New 3" leaf packs to replace my shot leaves, 2" pucks I had lying around, new longer shocks and an adjustable double shear track bar), parts were all sourced from the interwebs & 4WP's.

Waiting around for rollover videos to trickle in from safari. Here is one that is a good example of why 15 inches of lift can be a bad idea. Almost saved it!


No roll on this guy, but judging by these two videos, we can expect this guy to roll sometime soon...Maybe on "stories from the ER" as well.
