Drive Shaft

[Lenard]

Ok, I am going to be getting a 8.25 axle from a friend to replace my D35.

As my sig says, LWB AW-4 4x4

So make sure I have this all straight,

AW-4 + Chrysler 8.25 = -1" on Drive shaft I have now.

AX-15 + Chrysler 8.25 = 0" taken off of DS I have now.

 

If the above is correct, I do not want to cut my DS down because I

plan on swapping in the AX-15, but do not have the money for it yet,

plus I need the axle put in soon/now.

 

So I guess the real question is, are there any other vehicles out there that you all

know of that the DS would work for my MJ? If its to long I can have it cut down no problem,

but I just don't know if it would work. And the chances of me finding another MJ right now with

the correct DS I need are kinda slim.

I'll be bringing a spare 2wd shaft I have down next week if you can wait until then.

 

Adur... of course you can wait. I still have your axle :D

Look at the rust marks on the slip yoke. It is quite possible your drive shaft is short enough to work.

:clapping: Sorry Pete. I'm sure right now with all the stress about your fleet being

threatened that your reading comprehensive skills are bit on the low side right now. :rotfl2:

I will look. but I believe Correy has a fix for my problem.

just wanted to be sure, since a 3" lift and an 8.25 should cancel each other out pretty good. :dunno:

I hope your right. ;)

Do what mvusse suggested, and see how much slip you have. If it's the original driveshaft from before the lift was put on, then you shouldn't need a new shaft.
