Will a new Driveshaft be needed when going from a D35 to a C8.25?

Alabamaguy

maybe my slipe yoke swapped onto the actual shaft of a later model?

i myself would like to know the answer to this to as i will be doing the same swap...i dont think anything but the axle itself needs to be swapped but lets find out

How much lift do you have? I have 4.5". For mine I used a front drive shaft. I had a SYE so I was able to put the double cardin joint that I had on my 35 driveshaft on to a front driveshaft I got from a junkyard. Works great.

Do the those come with a 4 bolt cause I have a d35 with 4 bolt but I wanted to swab but not if it dosent have a 4 bolt

The Black

yes

2.5" lift, I'm just wanting to swap to the stronger axle because I found a good deal on it. Just wondering what I'm going to need to do to make it work.

you wont need a new driveshaft. you can reuse it

Alabamaguy

Thank you friend.

96_xj

no problem. just remember to torque down the straps or you will do what i did today....

(btw this is DS from an auto/d35 on my manual/c8.25)

Alabamaguy

What are the torque specs?
