Search. Front driveshaft in the rear has been covered a jillion times, but I'm not sure I'd even consider using a front shaft at 9' (9 feet) much less 9" (9 inches) as that is going to be a considerable stretch for the slipjoint.

Custom shaft if you have to go that high is almost a certainty.

WTF - 9 inches on an XJ??

X2 do a quick search, but for 9' kit you are going to need much more then a stock front XJ shaft.

But if you were looking at a 9" kit then yes still I would go with a custom shaft, if the Stock XJ shaft did fit it would be extended too far.
