99 Purple XJ

Im curious i just recently finished my bastard pack i the rear of my 99 xj and i was wondering since i netted roughly 4 inches of lift i get drive line vibes around 40mph. Can i use my front drive shaft in the rear to eliminate the drive line vibes i dont have time do get a TC drop and i have a 242 which makes it hard to find a SYE and money wise. But would the front DS in the rear be usable and get another front one from the JY

its quicker and less costly to do the tc drop ,you have to do a sye for front shaft to work

If you do a TC Drop you will need between 1/2 & 1".. I did mine using stacks of Fender washers, and just adjusted the stack till I had what I needed. Ended uo a 7/8" and a 4* shim in the axel. SYE is the best route but with the 242 you are limited to HacknTap, I believe.

Thanks for the replies and im not really crazy about TC drops for some reason. Would a 99 np231 from an auto bolt up to my tranny mines a 99 and is an auto also i am going to swap out the 242 any way because my chain is stretched and i can get my hands on a 231 from a 99 auto for cheap what else would i need if i have a 242 with a 35 would i need another DS?

if you swap the 231 in and sye a front shaft will work im running one the only thing to watch would be the length
