Tom Woods, Tattons, etc. There's tons of options. Or are you trying to go budget friendly?

As suggested, measure yours, see what your rig now needs.

There is a list of Jeep shaft lengths on the interweb...

You'll have to wait till your swap is finished then. There are too many variables to give someone a generic measurement.

Yeah, measure after you get the SYE installed. You'll be gambling otherwise

V8 zj is longest iirc.

My wife's TJ's shaft is pretty long. Never measured it tho, and I doubt many donors exist.
