I've a 1992 XJ I6 Auto with a NP 231 transfer case. There is no lift in the back save what comes from heavy duty leaf springs. I have 1" pads under the front coils.
I've replaced my D35 with a D44. I have read on that I should shorten the drive shaft. But I don't know by how much.
How much should I take off? Asked another way: What should the distance from the end of the NP231 housing to the center of the yoke UJ cradle be for a stock XJ with a NP231? I'm a stupid ninny since I didn't make this measurement before I swapped. Things woud be so much easier if I had.
One other question: the D35 had no shims between the leafs and the spring perches. Will I have to add any to get the driveline angle correct on the D44?
Thanks!
