SYE and Driveshaft Questions	Permalink

Ok here is the senario... I am currently sitting on a D35 in the rear (yes I know) while I am trying to get my other axle's built up. I have a SYE in the mail (HD replacement, not H&T). Currently I am just running a TC drop. I do not have a custom rear driveshaft yet, and quit frankly I have been waiting to get one untill I have the new axel's under it. I can't see spending the $$ twice. I currently am at around 4" in the rear (yes it's sagged) and with the current setup get little to no vibes. However I will be at around 5.5" in the rear in the next week or 2. I am worried about vibes and destorying my TC/driveshaft at that height. So my questions; 1) Will the front DS trick work with a D35? 2) Do I need a special yoke for the D35 if the answer to #1 is a YES? 3) Is thier a difference in front DS's out of other XJ's? If so what are they? I know it needs to be a AW4 shaft, but does year, what year axle it was originally equipped with etc matter? __________________ '93 XJ Cherokee Sport - build thread '89 XJ Cherokee Laredo - build thread '88 MJ Comanche Pioneer SWB - build thread '87 MJ Comanche LWB '94 YJ Wrangler - build thread

1) Yes
2) No
3) Wj's are slighty longer liek 1.5" or 2" and would be better for a D35 since it isn't as"long", meaning the pinion yoke is closer to the TCase for a Chry8.25 than a D35.

Sorry to be OT, but are the AW4 driveshafts different than peugot driveshafts?When we lifted Pete's XJ 4" & put in a peugot tranny (91 XJ) the front driveshaft we were given from a 97 XJ was 2" too long.I always thought all driveshafts were universal on XJs.... __________________ '89 XJ Pioneer - 33s, skids. lift, snorkle, HO engine, etc

It's my understanding that the AW4 driveshafts are longer than the puke-goat's. I have also researched that certain year AW4 driveshafts are longer than others depending on what rear-end it got from the factory.
