    My Jeep buildup and eventual teardown

    Well just talked to DD machine and the doublers will be done in a few weeks so I am planning on a 231 doubler infront of a flipped dana 300.

    Just decided I should start my own thread so I can feel special.

    how much longer we talking? a rear TJ driveshaft is short when stock

    Yeah, but on a TJ you have about 2" of actual driveshaft after the CV, and a kickass driveline angle w/ a 4" lift on a SYE 231. Maybe the Standard makes it better?

    a high pinion in the rear would prolly make it easier, but if the transfercase combo is much longer than stock I bet you have to lengthen the wheelbase.

    the driveshaft angle will be fine as long as you dont get any more lift or do a flat skid.

    i haven't measured the length of the 231 w/ sye, but the lenght of the doubler and 300 will be around 18 inches. pretty much the same lenght as the 231 is right now.

    I may have to to a MML to get the angles better but i don't plan on adding anymore lift

    Right now I am have 5 inches of tube between the CV and slip shaft

    That has the length comparisons in the text somewhere. I read it but when I posted the link I was too tired to look them up again. Looks like you'll gain a little length in your shaft...

    so, let me get one thing straight. What you're doing is similar to the Mad Rooster version, but you're having it done by DD machine? Is there a difference between the two?

    I'd guess that he won't be paying that exhorbitant butt-pirate price for his.
