front driveshaft vs. new high pinion

[cowboyupdan]

with a new h/p axle in my tj my drive shaft is toooooo long and pinched :swear_mad:

should i cut it down  :question:

Measure what you need.

Maybe a drive shaft from a cherokee (there's a couple different lengths) or older wrangler will work.

Will that be an issue in an XJ as well?  Hopefully going that route after my birthday. $$$

i'll measure it sun when i go to the garage with a hangover :twisted:gotta work that day

Any change in style of axle will probably result in needing a new drive shaft

Both of you should try pulling drive shafts from cherokee's with the same transmision / transfer case combo's that you have.

Just ones for 87-99?
