front driveshaft length

I swapped my front DS to the rear after my SYE install, while i wait on a new DS. anyways, i'm wondering what the compressed and extended lengths of the front driveshaft is. This is on a 1999 XJ sport, 4.0L, AW4 auto tranny, NP231 tcase, and chrysler 8.25" rear end, 3.5" RE superflex lift. Basically i wanna know if its possible for me to pull the rear slip yoke apart in the DS. Thanks

The front DS I am using right now is within .25" of my RE DS. That reminds me I need to get that one rebuilt. JIM.

so what would hte measurements be compressed and extended? any idea?

From the center of the single Ujoint cap the the center of the endmost of the 2 paired Ujoints is 31.5 compressed and 33.5 extended ( 98 4.0L AW4 front DS ).

Does any body remember the measurements you gave to get your DS made and what lift size you had at the time. I am looking into an AA full SYE and the front driveshaft swap but am wondering if the lenght of the front DS is correct for a 3" lift?

ILLXJ what size lift is using the Front DS as a rear DS?

Kenny, what did your lift actually net? More than 3.5?

I am running 6" of lift. My RE shaft was for 5" of lift. HTH. JIM.

I havent really measure it yet. I keep meaning to measure the center of the wheel to the flare, but i'm currently flareless, so i dont know if the fenders themselves would be sufficient, or if that throws if off some. I'll try to do that tomorrow, class from 8am -9pm today.
