Lil update removed the 2 bolt.. could only remove the top one.. but i still want to know if anybody try a xj shaf on those.. coz like i said near the firewall shaft end mine goes into it.. but the xj goes around it right?

Nevermind i guess.. i just saw about headers being a problem with this.. and yeah as you can see mine are already really close to it

they havent been an issue on any of mine, what headers are you running.

I barely have room for a finger.. so the other shaft should be around the same..

Quick question: I have a 92 K1500, which year model XJ Shaft 80-94 or 95-96 would work and more importantly fit better?.

I'm wanting to buy a new shaft rather than go to a junkyard. I just don't know which year shaft to go with. Can someone please help me before I make a mistake?

 

[Keven]

I cant help you but id like to know if you could take a picture of the top part of the shaft.. the part that goes into the shaft in the firewall

Hopefully someone can chim in and lmk if I'm correct, but looking at both model of shafts, the 95-96 XJ shaft has the lower clamp is directly in line with the u-joint, rather than off set. Is that correct?
