So i just happened to stumble upon a bolt in front stretch for a TJ...kinda(not including suspension parts.

Well, you take a flange for the front output of a Dodge np 231 and it bolts right up(after you grind off the circle in the middle to get a flat mounting surface) to a superduty front driveshaft. The driveshaft i used was from an 05-07 F350, but i assume it would be the same length for F250's too, it's got a 7 inch slip and 1350 u joints. It was perfect for a 4-5" stretch with a dana 60(05-07 ford type to be specific), and cost a hell of a lot less than having a custom driveshaft made.

I just figured that this might help someone save a buck or two.

So a dodge NP-231 front output has the same spline count and such as a Jeep 231?

Wonder if the OR241 is the same?

Hmm.. I was looking at the Superduty driveshafts they have laying all over the junkyard, I know some of them are 1410 joints.

yep, it bolts right up, not sure about the 241 OR though. Just measure the bolt circle of the flange on the 241 and see if it matches the superduty bolt circle.
