MancheKid86 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 How much longer? I need my driveshaft extended but I don't want to until I get my ax-15+ np 231 installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadinator Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 The tranny is actually longer for a 2wd because it has a output shaft designed to connect to the driveshaft. The 4wd tranny doesn't have that and hooks directly to the transfer case. If you are converting from 2wd to 4wd, you should need a shorter driveshaft, not a longer one. check this thread out for lengths. viewtopic.php?f=9&t=20131&hilit=stock+driveshaft+lengths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancheKid86 Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 I meant with 231 installed :P I picked up a truck with a 5 inch lift, longbox with 2wd slipyolk barely in the output shaft, So if I throw my ax-15 with 231 in, you think I would need to extend it at all? Life for flex wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadinator Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Not sure, but I'd guess no. Someone else would have to chime in that has converted 2wd to 4wd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 When I went from a 2wd AX-4 to a 4wd AX-5/NP 207, I had to shorten my driveshaft by 11 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
