Best combo for the money? Should I worry about the driveshaft length with a 3-4 inch lift on my d35? I've got driveline vibes pretty bad.

Yes, great value.

You will want a front DS from a V8 Grand Cherokee.

Awesome, I was thinking id buy the yoke and go pick n pull a driveshaft. Probably cheaper that way.
Thanks!

I would say from personal experience it has been a very nice set up, and the install was surprisingly simple. I feel it was a good bang for my buck.

I have it also. I am at 5in and 8.25 and the shaft they include in the combo is good , but if I was a bit lower it would definately be too long. But I think that the d35 is a bit shorter so you might be ok.

I did the IRO HnT and put the stock front drive shaft from my xj in the rear and it eliminated all the vibrations. Very happy with the HnT.

It depends on if he has an automatic or not IIRC.

Just remember to order the extra flange seal adapter if you have an older Tcase pre-91 I think. My kit is waiting to be installed until I order that adapter thingy

Yes its an automatic, yes its pre 91 :P thanks for the input guys! I haven't ordered it yet but as soon as I get back from my two week vacation I plan on it. Quick question from you guys that have done it, what did you use for the hacking? I was going to do the lathe type set up but I don't have a grinder, I might be able to find a friend with one though...

just don't do like I did when I installed mine, didn't take into account that I had a 3" lift and the directions were designed for a stock height cherokee, so mines approx 3/4" short, it works but the splines on the slipshaft are showing just a little

I went out and bought an angle grinder with a cutting wheel, and it has been one of the best investments i have made.
