Ive got a 92 cherokee lifted about 5.5 inches with 33in tires on her. Had bad driveline chatter amd eventually broke my slipyoke. I put a rugged ridge sye on it and now just need the rear driveshaft. Its 34 and a half inches from yoke to yoke. Any ideas on what i can pull a front driveshaft out of for it? Or should i just bite the bullet and pay to have one made?

If you end up buying, check out these guys. I have there shafts on my Cherokee front and rear. Great service, I had to have the rear shaft shortened because I installed a different transfer case. No problems.

I second that site. Couple guys in my club run their driveshafts. Was gonna go that route but i went hack n tap and JY shaft for the savings

 

Wish Salad came through. He has the chart for front DS sizes. Im using a stock DS from an 01 for my hack n tap. Im sure you can ge by with a stock front from an xj. Need to see the chart to be sure for sure

 

not sure of the exact post, but i think this is the list Salad posted up??

Yup thanks. This be it. This answers OP questions.

 

You want center to center off were ujoint cap bolts up the get a shaft off the list provided here . The lengths listed are collapsed lengths if you get a 30 inch measurement a 32 inch +/- shaft will work....

 

34.5 does seem like a lot, unless it's one of the mega-short SYEs. I'm 33.25 with a 6.5" lift, standard RR SYE

 

So the measurement from yoke to yoke, that wpuld be the collpsed length of the DS i wpuld need? This is my first jeep so im kinda learning as i go.

Im just going to buy one from phoenix rack and axle for now. I have yet to hear any bad things about them and their prices are great. Thanks for the help though everybody!

 

I have one too that I got off ebay as part of a sye/drive shaft package.

All American parts, much beefier than a front drive shaft and the slip joint has a larger range. I'm sure it was overkill for me but I don't worry about breaking it.

 

Got the rr slip yoke eliminator and the 34 1/2 driveshaft, got in all installed and i still sometimes have chatter when i coast and brake.. I took my transfercase drop out when i installed the sye because i thought i wouldnt need it. Im thinking maybe i should drop ot back down. Thoughts?
