Yeah I'm gonna take it up to this place in landover that's a driveshaft place. They have thousands of them and can custom make them if they don't have it. I just need help putting the Sye on. Never done before

From the looks of the videos, looks easy. Hardest part may be to reseal. As for DS, if they are gonna charge more than 50 for a DS, measure and go to a junkyard and get the front DS from a zj or xj depending on needed size

Exactly. Although a zj iirc is more for larger lifts. After he measures it keeps his options open
