I pulled the 35 out if my 95 and put the 8.25 out of my 01 in. Install went fine until the driveshaft. Stock was too long. Already on the rusty part of the slide, probably less than one inch from bottoming at full extension. I switched the yolk onto the 01 driveshaft and its too short! Only 1/2 inch engaged at full extention, 3/4 at ride height. I have the front driveshaft out of the 01, but with the slider compressed its only 1/4 inch longer than the 01 rear.
So what should I do here, I need this to be finished tomorrow!
I can put the 35 back under it and pray it keeps together until I can figure out what to do;
I can slide the slider out on the front shaft some and weld it but is a front suitable for daily hard use?
I can try my luck at u pick it but the couple of xjs they have are 97+ optioned like my 01 so I bet their shafts are the same as I already got.
Or I could cut down my slip yolk some but I'd rather not, im going to put the 35 back in after a thorough rebuild.
What do i do here!?
