How so? Same XJ shaft, same mods.

I just looked different for some reason. I know there is another shaft similar that is longer but has the same ends. Not bad idea to use if you have alot of body lift. IIRC, they're about 4 inches longer.

Yes, and the Rubicons and all those series. Not sure what J it is. But it's the Jeep, looing Jeeps that have it. I think the older ones were CJ's. Not sure what they are now.

Now that I have it running pretty good, I can start some mods. Like a rear sway bar, tilt/tele steering, buckets/console, ect.

I got another running 350 for $300 and dropped it in. It smoked, but I found that was because the oil drain back holes were plugged. Lost like half a quart of oil when I pulled the driver's valve cover.
