How much lift is too much when running a front drive shaft in the rear.

It also depends on what rear axle you have.d-35's yoke sticks out about 1/2" less than a d-44 or 8.25
In my situation with a re 5.5" lift,5speed tranny,and d-35 rear,the front ds from an auto xj was about 2" too short for me...had to have it lengthened at a driveline shop.
btw its the auto tranny itself thats longer compared to a 5speed not the t-case....

MrShaft696 said:From all I have seen and tried.... If you have a manual trans xj a front shaft is at least 2in too short to run safely, it cost me around 90.00 to have it lengthened. I pulled a front shaft from a 94 and it bolted right up to my 96 with a PORC SYE.
