TJ rear driveshaft help/questions

[TJDave]

Not sure about a rubi 44 but a TJ 44 bolts right up to a stock D35 driveshaft u joints and all, at least it did for me.

Did you have to shorten your stock driveshaft to compensate for the larger d44?

As the saying goes "poor people can't afford to be cheap"

Just hold off puting the axle in till you can do it right.

Talk to John about a xj shaft or pretty much any half ton solid axle GM front shaft to get what you need then have it shortened to fit.

If you decide to do this, I have a one of those Chevy drive shafts laying in my garage that needs to go. The double-cardan joint is fresh and the shaft is in great condition.

You are welcome to at least come and take some measurements off it to get some ideas.

Ok, thanks. I'll take it if it will work.

I did not have to shorten the driveshaft but it was a tight fit. The driveshaft for your auto is actually shorter and will fit even better.
