Can I run front driveshaft with a 2" lift? Will it bottom out under full compression? If it's to long, will a manual shaft work? How about a TJ shaft?
I want to add a SYE to reduce vibes, but I don't want a custom shaft for my 2" BB. I also don't want to drop the t-case and negate the benefits of my BB.

XJ Dana 44 axle
PORC HD SYE conversion
Front shaft from an auto XJ
My XJ has an AW4.
5 inches lift.
At ride height the drive shaft slip joint is extended 2 inches
With the axle hanging at full droop (8 inches) the drive shaft slip joint is extended 2-1/4 inches.
I cant fully compress the springs but since I have only 5 inches of bump travel and the springs have little arch at ride height I have no concerns about bottoming the shaft.
4 degree axle shim
2 inch lift from a shackle (adds 3 degrees)
Had to adjust the bastard pack accordingly to keep the lift at 5 inches.

Has anyone put one of these front drive shafts in a 92 XJ with an auto and D35 rear end. I believe some mentioned about just changing the pinion end of the drive shaft and it would work.
Any thoughts?
