go to the junkyard and grab a front shaft off an XJ with an automatic. i've been running one on my 5.5" Rubicon lift for a few years now with no issues.

also, it wouldn't be a bad idea to put all new u-joints in it

Front shaft should work. But if you want to a new shaft. You need to measure.... There is not a fixed spec to give you. Too many variables. Go to the Tom Woods site they have instruction on how to measure for the drive shaft.
