Default Best SYE kit

Found this online, but it doesn't say it's for the XJ. I know it should fit, but I need a seasoned member to say yes so i feel better.

Also, is there a place that's cheaper? Prefer the AA kit over the RR?
And I don't have the ability for a hack'n'tap so that is out.

JB conversion sye. Think it's a little better than the aa. Check their website out if you get the chance to. Better product for same price as the aa

JB Conversion is my fav. although the AA also gets the job done well. No matter which you choose you could read their website just for the information.

Not saying your wrong, but I'm just curious to know why the jb brand is better?

Question

Do I have to put an aftermarket driveshaft with any sye kit that I put on?

Yep. Or a stock front driveshaft works for a lot of people.

I took my front drive shaft out and put it in the rear. just ran it in 2wd for a couple days till I picked up another shaft. perfect fit at almost 6" rear with auto trans
