Title: YJ front driveshaft length?
Post by: RatherBeJeeping on March 09, 2011, 08:09:25 PM

can anyone grab a measurement for me please? Yoke to yoke, length of the tube between the welds, I'm not too picky.

Pretty sure I cut down my stock one when I did my engine swap so need to find out if a stock shaft will work now with the front wheelbase stretch before I order up a new shaft. I love junkyard parts when I can use them so replacements are easier to come by.

Check a Qtech catalog.  I think they have stock driveshaft lengths in the back.  I'd suspect that the 4.0L Manual would have the longest front driveshaft since it has the shortest rear driveshaft.
