Default Drive shaft question?

Can anyone tell me if a front drive shaft from a 2015 JKU can be used in a 2008 JKU? Are they the same?

Thanks

Bolt up the same but the lengths might be different. Enough to matter ? Not sure.

Measure or get a collapsed measurement for both.

If it is a manual trans, it will. The new autos have a modified t-case. Not sure if that somehow changed the driveshaft length.

In general, it would fail all logic for Jeep to require more than one driveshaft. The 2-door and 4-door are interchangeable.
