CV shaft?

[Gclyne]

Hi guys I'm about to install a SOA and I want to install a CV joints on my drive shafts. Where can I find CV driveshafts? Do any of you guys have advice?

Thank you

Tom Woods would be my 1st. choice, there are others here that have used other makers also.
You can also get one from the junk yard from the front of a 90's explorer or get the front shaft and yoke from the front of a xj
and have them shortened and rebalanced.
I'd check prices from your local driveshaft shop for both new and shortened.
I have a xj's in mine.

I installed a Tom Woods in my 75 CJ and it is amazing. I gave them a call told them length and what I was looking for and had a custom made driveshaft in about a week.

Both ford explorer and XJ work, but if you have a choice grab the explorer its 2" diameter .120 wall and has a 2.5 stroke, a bit thicker then the xj.

I picked up a front explorer driveshaft for $20 at the boneyard. I added a few inches to make it 33.5” with 4.5 stroke

Ditto!

Woods are great to deal with. They know Jeeps.

Plus with a SOA you're going to need longer shafts.
