Default Drive shaft problems

I recently transferred a 4.5 inch lift from a 90 with a ax15 and the 231 to a 91 with aw4 with a 231. I also switched out the sye and the cross member from the 90. I tried to install the tom woods drive shaft but it is about a half inch too long. Is the ax15 shorter then the aw4 or did I do something wrong?

Yeah it's a few inches too short. I have a front shaft that should fit for you measure your needs and let me know I'll send it to you if you pay shipping

I had one shaft that would fit but had no slip and local shop was 200 to add a few inches and balance it with a month wait time because of desert season. So I got a front shaft from a zj. I needed a long Long shaft 35"
