this might be a stupid question but is there a cv driveline that would fit in my 4dr xj that comes out of another rig

 

yes the front driveshaft out of an xj you can pick on up at the JY

 

ok, so are you telling me that my front driveline will work for the back? Isn't it to short ?

 

I just put a slip yoke eliminator on my XJ and used a front shaft tha I had lengthened at the local driveshaft shop. works great, no vibration...

 

Thanks, sounds like that what I'm going to do

 

i herd that you can use a wj front ds and it will work because its longer than the xj front ds

 

i just picked up a wj front d-shaft at the jy. it is the same length as an xj, just has bigger splines on the slip.

 

so would u recomend it because i am goin up to 6inchs in the next couple of weeks and wondering if i should do that??

 

Well I put 6.5 RC lift on my XJ and I really would recomend a SYE and CV drive shaft when I go up or down steep inclines my drive shaft binds up and it don't sound to great. My whole thing is I don't want to spend 500$ on SYE and CV drive shaft. Does anyone have any ideas or know a cheaper way? And what's a WJ?

 

A "WJ" is a 1999 - 2004 Grand Cherokee. anybody correct me if I am wrong

 

here ya go man......... check out this link. d-shaft and sye $199^

sounds like you might have some axle wrap issues if your d-shaft is binding on inclines AND decents.

 

There is no such thing a direct swap of a front DS to the rear of an XJ. You will need to do some sort or Slip Yoke Eliminator. Whether it be a full on transfer case overhaul or a simple hack-and-tap system. A stock XJ front shaft will suffice for most XJs up to 4" any thing longer than that will require a longer shaft. A front shaft from a ZJ can be used for extra length.

Here is a comparison picture from TheGreatGazoo's build thread.



The ZJ shaft is the longer one on the bottom.
This should solve most of the problems/questions everyone seems to have on this thread.

 

Does that ZJ shaft work with the ax-15 and a C8.25?

I have been trying to find a oem solution for a shaft with an ax-15.

 

I know it works for an AW-4 I'm not 100% on an AX-15

 

x2. im having the same problem. i switched out the front drive shaft from and aw4 xj to mine with the ax15 and its about 3 inches too short. looks like that zj one might work though.
