will my stock length driveshafts work for the 5.5 inch lift i just bought for my X it is a 5 speed also if they will not work does any one know if the ones i have from my 4 door auto will sufficiently take their place
 






I know the 4dr shaft will be too long. The stock shaft will fit, but just barely. Last year Jared (twotone) lost a drive line on his 4dr after dooing a 5.5"lift. The seporation occured during panic bracking. Your best bet will be to install the kit and check the driveshaft once the install is complete.
 






The stocker will work, but just barely. I did a SOA conversionon mine,a nd the rear waslifted about 5.5". THe driveshaft fits fine, but at full extension it is barely inside the tranny. It still works, but I'm going to do a littel more lifting, so I'm going to have to have a new driveshaft made.
