Hello, I'm new to the 4x4 world, and it's time for an upgrade. I've done research and am going to go with a 4.5 Rubicon Express Lift. How much longer do I have to get the new one so it will match with the lift kit?(So I don't have driveline vibration and it's more off road friendly). I have a 01XJ Sport and it has the Chrysler Axle in it (or so I'm told). I will be buying the kit from Morris4x4. Thanks if you can help me out guys!

Most guys are ok with a sye and a stock front driveshaft for the rear. It is usually the correct length and has a double cardon joint at the tcase end. Do some reSEARCHing.

the correct way to do it is to measure after the lift and sye are installed

cheap route would be getting a stock front driveshaft. proly get it for dirt cheap, just replace all the ujoints and go.

they are not always the correct length. better off buying correct length driveshaft and save the stock front for a spare.
