Do you remember what two sizes you used by any chance?

 

[JeepFreak1234]

I don't it was a while ago

I used my 36mm and whatever size fit on the camp. A c clamp and hilift handle. Worked good for trail repair. Was that some offbrand/parts store ujoint?

Front ds should work perfect. Ran those for years with same setup. Unless u got the super short sye?

Brass punch or socket if needed and a mallot... It does not take much force to get them in

we rebuilt a CV shaft on the slabs years ago with a sledge hammer and basic sockets.

 

[XJ_Rudolph]

It was a spicer ujoint in there before (i think) and also the new one im putting in.

Ok yea im just running a regular SYE, so ill go to a picknpull and grab like 2 spares. Are the front orm driveshafts the same strength as oem rear ones?

just measure yours and find 1 or 2 that are within a few inches. you can go a little shorter for a spare just less spline engagement, and a little longer, but not too long. +-1" would be fine. if you get an XJ automatic front DS you'll be fine.
