Really a hack and tap is probably your best option. You can cut the shaft to length from the pinion yoke on the 8.25. That way you can run a front cv driveshaft.

 

How do I do the hack and tap I watched vids on you tune and all the out put shafts seem to stick out past the tail shaft housing ? And what brand should I use

 

Take it to a repair shop & pay them to do it.

 

Why should I pay some one to do the work I can do ? If I have to shorten it I will farm it out but I can do all the other work

 

Because you watch a vid & still ask how to do it. That's why.

 

Well excuse me for having a diffent looking output shaft !!!!!! I have a tail shafts and housing that are equal length all the h& t installs I've. Seen has a shaft with no tail housing so suck it

 

Wow, really?

Take a midol, a glass of wine, Zima, or what ever it is you ladies do to chill out.

Just offering my option on the information given.

DAMN.

 

So what is the big deal?

Stock driveshaft is too long with an 8.25 rearend in a stock height Cherokee?

Am I missing something?

 

No there's no issue I have to decide if I should have my shaft shortend try to find one in the jy if I even can find the correct length have one made do a hack and tap do a sye. That's where I'm at. I asked a question after watching a video that wasn't very clear on the steps of how to to a h&t and now I should pay some one money to do something ican do and I have to take a midol and change my tampon. Because I asked a question on something I was unclear on and big Dave now says I'm incompetent to do it

 

Oh and it's not stock height I'm on 4.5 " lift with a t case drop

 

I took Midol once and 28 days later had spotting in my undies. JK. You'll get it figured out.

 

Don't you hate when that happens.

OP did you attempt to get a shorter driveshaft yet. You have an 231, an SYe isn't too bad. Under 300 and you can use find a stock driveshaft. At least you'll e done with it

 

Yes, and my boobies got tender.

I'm curious as to just exactly what we're working with here.

 

.

 

Well, is it just that a stock height XJ got an 8.25 and the driveshaft is an inch too long or what?

I need some chocolate and a glass of wine now.
