agreed...who are all these people that need drive lines mod'ed? and the price...yikes. its looking like about $200.00 per prop shaft.
speaking of drivelines... for future thread searches and the benefit of the community
Post H55 swap - drive line measurements:
flange to flange distance with truck sitting on jack stands and the suspension relaxed
42.5" rear
26 3/8" front.
flange to flange distance with wheels on - truck sitting level and suspension loaded
42.5" rear
26 3/4" front.
I've been scouring the interwebs and the bowels of the MUD forums for any definitive info about this and I'm coming up empty handed. I believe we've got the same setup (or will soon enough!) FJ62, 3fe efi, 3f bell housing, h55 trans, stock vac transfer case. One exception, I'm on a 3" OME kit. Now, as this thing is my daily driver, I'd like to minimize the downtime while I'm doing this swap. The question I'd like to put out there; is the flange to flange measurement such a glass slipper fit that I should wait until the moment that I have my shiny, new h55 stabbed to have my existing driveshafts modified? Or can I take a measurement, like the ones you've posted here, and have some driveshafts fabbed up before hand? I'm feeling like enough of us have tackled this very project to reach some consensus on an acceptable length for our driveshafts. Or am I way off base, and the lesson here is to have patience and do it the old fashioned way and take a hard measurement? - in which case, I'll shut up and get back to wrenching.
