Lift and driveline questions
Ok, I'm new to the world of Jeeps and have owned my XJ for a little over a month (check link in sig) I bought it already lifted but it's pretty crappy. There's at least 3" of pucks in front and blocks in back and the rear leafs are sagging. I'm going to be replacing the lift on here with the IRO 5.5" short arm kit. I'm running a NP231 TC with a TC drop and no sye. I'm going to order the IRO HD sye when I order my lift. With that and the JKS disco's I'm just a hair over my $1300 budget for my lift. Now I'm guessing with the SYE the front driveshaft should be longer (am I right here)? And I don't have the extra $280 for a custom Tom Woods DS (well I do but would rather not spend it )
So lets hear it? How long should the driveshaft be? What driveshafts from the local jy would work for this application?
Thanks for the help in advanced
