I recently ordered my sye and new ds from dc4wd.com. i installed my lift and now i need to install the sye. he told me to measure for the length of the ds which i did. then he said i needed to take out the ds and measure the rear ujoint(closest to rear diff) to figure out what kind to send me. can someone shine some light on that for me and help me to figure out whats goin on? and maybe tell me another way of doing this if i need to do it at all so i dont have to pull my rear ds. i need to get the ds so i can install it and its starting to become quite the hassle.
any help would be appreciated. thanx

Ya XJs came with 2 different drive line u-joint sizes. You need to get under it, take off the whole 4 bolts that hold the straps, and measure it.
