Did you remove the bearing race from the stock shaft?

I have a non-rubicon and replaced my rears with Ten factory shafts and they were the same length. OP says his were different lengths.

Am I missing something?

Rubicons have a different setup than non-rubicons. Their axle shafts are slightly thicker and have different lengths than the sahara's/x's/sports/whatever other models are out there.

Figured it out, way of
Life's write up is wrong. That's the one I was going off and he said the passenger side was the short axle and the drive side was the long axle. Swapped them and it went in perfect! Feel so dumb =[
