AFAIK the shafts are the same for all XJ's. One of my sets was from an ABS equipped 89. Anyways, XJ and TJ and YJ use same D30 when it comes to the splines on the carrier. Also AFAIK The unibearing splines are the same on all 3.

Remi is Correct. They are all the same length. execption is with a disco passenger side axle. but you can delete the vac disco and run a one piece that is the same length as the rest. ZJ's with CV shafts also are the same length so you can nix the CV shafts in favor of traditionals. You can even swap the ABS tone ring from the CV shaft to the traditionals.
Also there is the U-joint size. all pre 95 non ABS D30's have 260 joints.
ABS has 297/760 joints. 95-96 YJ's have a 297/760 shafts AND vacum discos.
most all 97newers have 297/760 joints.
It was probably a very early production 95, or they had run out of 297 shafts and still ahd 260 shafts in the store room. Things like that happen in factories all the time.
ok, looking at my shafts and the shafts i want to pick up i see one difference, on the outer shaft of my there is a ring that goes around right after the ears that attach the u joint, on the tj shafts this ring is not existent, what does this ring do? i will post pics in a little while
I think that those "rings" that are on your xj shafts are dust covers of some type and from the looks of the ones from the tj, it used to have some. If you wanted to use them I believe they come off and can be used on the tj shafts. Correct me if I am wrong somebody.
