hey guys finally got around to installing my jeep shaft. Mine is a 95 4x4 it seems that i might have the universal joint on the inside of the firewall like selow previous had. The shaft went on perfectly and does drive bettter. but i am worried it would cause problems.

So i guess my question is, has anyone with a 95 or 96 installed this? can you move your shaft up and down with it installed? has anyone with the older trucks installed it and mind seeing if they can move there shaft up and down at all? mine moves probably 2 inches or so up and down.

Would love to keep this mod but would like some insight also.

thanks

If u got three joints, the xj mod won't work. U will need to fab a u-joint to the stock shaft in place of the rag. There's a link to Flaming River above.
