well the 6.5" long arm kits officially in, front sits a bit lower then the rear, figure itll even out on time. if not toss some spacers up front, anywho with that being said my driveline angles have changed, and i need a new rear driveshaft time for a woody . how/what do i measure and what measurements do i need when i call tom woods? thanks everyone

 

find it hard to beleive not a single member on this forums knows how to do this, for then tom woods would have no business anyone out there who can help me?

 

slide driv shaft in tc case to old wear mark from seal and measure from center of rear u joint to center of rear yoke wear u joint sits to save some money take you stock shaft and add the difference to it locally ,you might want to research sye and using xj front shaft in the rear a lot of vibe issues are on here from tall lifts with out it

 

they give u all the measurement points/all the info they need to build u the rite shaft. it is step by step.

You most likely aren't going to just want a stock shaft. At 6.5" lift there is a very good chance you will want/ need an SYE

 

and i am sure if yuo called and asked they would provide you with measurements and most d-shaft companies have print out sheets you fill out and fax or mail in...

 

already have an sye installed, went on the tom woods website already and they use all these crazy *** measure meants and angles to measure it. i just need length right? i just dk from where to where. i beleive its where the ujoint hits the yoke correct?

 

It's really simple. With the driveshaft removed and the Jeep sitting level, take your tape measure and measure from the TC yoke to the axle pinion yoke. With just that measurement any driveline shop worth a crap knows to make the DS that length right in the middle of its allowed slipjoint.

tom woods isnt the end all be all either....

 

I live in Minturn. We should go wheeling when I rebuild my t-case at some point this month.

 

That is a fact. Tom Woods does awesome work but he is well known and therfore very expensive. Dude, really, your local driveline shop can build a shaft for you for probably much less cash, too.

 

cant make it any simpler than this

 

a lot less want, to save even more hit the local you pull it yard get a xj front shaft and let them use the yokes from it for the new on mine all together was 140.00 shaft included
