Front Driveshaft suggestions
I need about two more inches on my front drive shaft and was curious if anyone had any suggestions. I have come across that a 5.2 ZJ Driveshaft is about 2-3" longer but can not verify if it is a direct bolt in or not.
Any suggestions would be appreciated

Yes, ZJ shafts with a double-cardan joint are a direct bolt-in if you can accommodate the length. Some of them are a single U joint at each end with a slip in the middle, stay away from those characters.

Oh that guy. Reported him for PM spam last week.
I found the handy DS chart. They all use the same U joints and are bolt-on
