I have the AX-15 Transmission. I want to do a full SYE from Advance Adaptors. I do not know the length of drive shaft i need. I have a 3" lift. I dont want to get a tom woods due to the price. i would like to get a refurbished front shaft.
I don't know how it will fit though because of two reasons.
1. I don't know how much shorter the AA SYE will be.
2. I don't know about the difference in length between the AX-15 and the AW4.

This is what I have now with no tc drop or SYE on a stock drive shaft on a 3" lift.


I have been told from Iron rock offroad that their refurb front shaft is 27.75 inches.

THANKS for the help guys!

the iro works for all applications.

ax-15 - d35
ax-15 - c8.25
aw4 - d35
aw4 - c8.25

no worries there 27.75 is compressed length


the difference between the aw4 and the ax-15 is not as great as the pinion difference between the the d35 and c8.25 is

Or you can just get a used front driveshaft I can't remember is manual or auto is longer but it works.

IRO is a refurbished front shaft ..

Sorry re read your post and noticesnu said u wanted to get a refurb front shaft

BigC9164

yes. but will it work with a jb conversions SYE? it will be shorter than the H&T by an inch or so i believe

and thanks for the help with the 27inches being for the compressed length! i was unsure about that. how much SAFE extension can i get out of the front shaft?

Enough for up to a 6" lift. Any XJ front shaft will work, for a 3" lift. Just get the IRO shaft. Quit over analyzing things, that you don't really understand.....

wow..... Easy dude.

With 3 lift you bill be fine like posted. I run mine with 5" extended at ride height and no issues

If my drive shaft now is 29" and i am getting a SYE that will move the drive shaft connection BACK toward the tcase ANOTHER 2-3 inches....you tell me how the heck i am going to be able to use a front drive shaft that is 27" long. i've been told they only extend about 3 inches safely. so with it fully extended i will have a 30" shaft which still comes up short about 1-2 Inches.
It sounds to me like YOU are the one that doesn't understand.
Thanks to the rest of you for giving me useful information (what an online forum is for).

I think i am going to go to a JY and look for a V8 ZJ shaft. those are 33.000 inches long. should be good for my set up. if not i will snag any front shaft i see off of a zj or xj and take to get extended 3 Inches.

I don't think they were produced with that level of accuracy
