Find a local shop and have it extended to the length you need. Should cost no more than 100 bucks. HAPPYJOHN 04-27-2009, 01:43 AM It should still bolt up, but your pushin it.

Thanks cj5.5 04-27-2009, 10:49 AM Find a driveshaft shop. If you can't find one, ask a trucker. Call said driveshaft shop, tell 'em what you're doing, and ask what they want for dimensions. Usually you just measure yoke to yoke. Just bring them just the driveshaft. Cheaper. Besides, they're usually more of a machine shop than a repair shop, so they don't want to pull out your DS anyways. NetBSD 04-27-2009, 11:58 AM almost any machine shop can do this job or do it yerself. lots of info on this board about making driveshafts GreatWhiteXJ 04-27-2009, 04:25 PM would just like a regular offroad shop do it? would i lift the jeep and then bring it in for them to extend it? Thanks Maybe, but doubtful. Anyone who knows how to weld can extend it, but its needs balanceing. Thats why you would want a driveline shop. And am I understanding the jeep is not lifted yet? jeep1994 04-27-2009, 04:40 PM that is correct it is not lifted to the 8 inchs yet. I only have a 3.5 lift on it right now. thanks for all the replies GreatWhiteXJ 04-27-2009, 04:50 PM Install your kit first. Then see what happens. BUT I will tell you this.....and not for example purposes, but I ran/run 8.5 Rusty's coils up front and could still bolt up a stock shaft. I broke it 3times and pulled it apart more times than Id like to recall...but it did bolt up. If it does need work, you would only need it lengthend 2-4 inches MAX. But install the kit, flex it out, and just pay attention to everything and you should be able to figure out if you need it or not, and if so how much. | |
