Default Tom wods driveshaft measurement

I have a 3.5 RE short arm kit and 35's on my Jk. I need a new front driveshaft and am going to order through Tom Woods. I measured my driveshaft at 35 1/2 inches. Anyone with a similar kit come up with the same measurement?

Just run it till it breaks, I have a 3" lift and that's what I'm doing, you may find out you don't end one in the end. Is your rig 2 or 4 dr?

I have the exact set up you have, same lift, tires etc. I just called Woods company direct and got detailed information on how to measure. I wouldn't rely on anyone guessing for you. Go direct to the guys who make the driveshaft. You can't go wrong.

No two Jeeps measure exactly the same even when all the same parts are used....
As Cliff posted.... contact Tom Woods to provide you with the measuring points. That is what have done in the past when I purchased replacement driveshafts for my '98 XJ. Tom Woods products are heavy duty and reasonably priced.
