99TJ with 04 Rubi Front Drive Shaft

lundi 9 juin 2014

I swapped in a front and rear Dana 44 with a NV241 (from a manual 04 Rubicon) to my 99 TJ Sport. The rear drive shaft is a Tom Woods and the front is a stock drive shaft from the 04 Rubi.



I was messing with my front Currie control arms this weekend and couldn't get them to collapse much further than 16 1/2 - 17" eye-to-eye. When I checked on the front drive shaft (from the 04 Rubi), it was completely collapsed.



When I initially set the lower control arm lengths (by removing the springs and compressing the axle into the wheel well), the drive shaft extended over the Dana 44's yoke. I had to extended out the lower arms quite a bit to get the front drive shaft to mate to the yoke.



If anyone has done this swap, did you need to replace the front drive shaft with something shorter? :confused:



Thanks for all the help. I've been full of questions on this swap.
