Does anyone know if it is common to shorten the front drive shaft when installing a Waggy 44 in an 87 xj. I'm installing mine and the drive line is not going to fit. Its all the way compressed and its about 1" short.


Thanks
 
depends on lift. i installed a d44 out of a ford into my xj with 3.5-4 inches of lift and had to shorten my driveline about 3 inches.

I actually thought that at first, until I realized one had an XJ and one had a ZJ.

Dude I think you sniffed too much exhaust today. Both are in XJ's, and I have seen that guy crosspost other stuff before.:dunno:

Wow, never mind. Not sure how I got that so wrong.... :dunno:

In any event, the question got answered on PNW and it hadn't been fully addressed here, so mission accomplished.

if you have an auto a DS from a manual should fix it.
