Hey guys,
I have done alot of searching but cant seem to find a straight answer on this. I am swapping a 8.25 out of a 2000 xj into my 96 xj with a d35 that has a pinion bearing that sounds like its about to explode.
I know about spline counts, ubolts, zj disc conversion, and no abs. My main concern is the drive shaft. I have read conflicting answers to this and Im hoping for a direct answer. Will I need to shorten my driveshaft? I am running a RE4.5 lift that is really about 5" in the rear with 33" tires. I am on a tight budget and trying to keep the costs down so doing a sye or buying a new ds is not in the plans for now. Thanks for your input.
