Default Front Drive Shaft

My friend has a RE front drive shaft that he bought for his Rubi Unlimited with standard trans. Would this fit my Unlimited X with auto trans?

Thinking of buying it from him.

Thanks.

What is the driveshaft length?

Similar lift heights?

Does it have adapter plates?

Or did he change his flanges?

If he changed flanges, are you willing to change yours so it will bolt up?

etc...

We have same lift heights, he bought it because he thought he would need it but with the manual trans, he doesn't need it but I do with the auto. He didn't change any flanges, still running stock shaft, so I figured he bought it to mount up to the stock locations. We havent looked under there but just wondering if a shaft for a manual would work with an auto.

I guess I can get off my lazy ass tomorrow and drive over to his place, crawl under and have a look see.
