zj front driveshaft question
hey everybody so I'm going to the junkyard this weekend and I want to get a front u joint drive shaft for my 96 Grand Cherokee. can anyone tell me what all I need to grab to make it work with my application? also, if anyone knows what year and model I should look for that would be very helpful. thanks in advance!

We need a lot more info than what you've given us so far. Engine? T/case? What do you have for end connections now?

Right now I've got the NP249 transfer case and the 4.0L eventually I'm going to do a transfer case swap but I don't have the money for the transfer case yet.

Okay, so my next question is why do you want to buy a driveshaft before you decide which t/case you're going to use? Are you planning on lifting it? I think you should wait until you buy the t/case, then figure out what you'll need. There are many different length driveshafts with different styles of drive ends. I think at the very least, you'll need a u-joint yoke for the front diff.

Okay. Yes I plan on lifting it. I was actually going to buy Rough Country 2 inch budget boost just to get a little lift for now but they say I'll get vibrations from the front shaft if I don't have the u-joint style shaft.

Just remember that is MY opinion. I'm sure there are others.
