Spacers are cheaper for the front but don't cheap out in the rear...
Get full leaf packs...

These would be a cheaper option and it'll bet you in the 6" ball park in the rear....but prepare for longer transfer case drop or degree shims or sye and new drive shafts...

Probably don't even need a tom woods shaft...
A grand cherokee front driveshaft should be good enough for you...

Hey Walt, if you get a chance, could you please measure your rear DS from center of Ujoint to center of Ujoint. Thanks.

Also, there's a couple 2.5L AX-15 external slave bellhousings up here by me.

Even the earlier 2.5s. The early models blocks n transmissions were the same but the Cyl head was the only difference. Remember in the early Dodges there was an OHC 2.5L and a OHV 2.5L. When ChryCo acquired AMC, they kept a lot of AMC design n parts including the GM and Ford components as well.
