The 90 driveshaft will be longer then the one in a 8.25 rig.
If memory serves me right this is the order from longest to shortest stock rear shafts with the old style tcase that I have dealt with:
AX15 with a dana 35
AW4 with a dana 35
AX15 with 8.25
AW4 with 8.25
The 8.25 has a longer pinion then the 35. In my renix jeep i used a ax 15/35 driveshaft for the right length in my aw4/8.25 after lifting it to compensate for the length needed from the lift. Hope this helps.

SEARCH! It's been covered.
Thanks for the replies. I got the driveshaft in place, and it's really close to the same. The slipyoke is slightly further out than it was with the 35. Like an eighth of an inch maybe three-sixteenths.
I did try the search function first, but evidently my search-fu isn't working.....or I asked the wrong questions. < grin>

I think the 8.25 snout was maybe 1/2" different. The AW4 is 1" longer than the AX15 meaning 1" shorter on the rear DS.
