Agree

x3 on the 96+ shafts. I did make a plate for the axle housing where the disco was. I also used an XJ T-case switch and elecrical connector to make the 4wd light work on the dash. Another advantage is that the majority of the guys in the club are running TJs or newer XJs so they all run the same axle shafts so the chances of someone having a spare is pretty good. I know I always carry a spare set.
BlacXJeep:
wow this is confusing me. So should I upgrade my shafts on my dana 30? since mine is a 93? or because I had ABS axle are they ok? It would be good to be on the same page as everyone else. Sorry Rock, had to ask the Q's.

It seems like I read somewhere that the XJs with ABS had the larger ujoints already in the D30. Rock doesn't have a problem with running the smaller shafts with an open front axle, but by locking it he is going to be putting a lot more stress on the system and will want to upgrade. Until you are ready to lock the front axle I wouldn't worry about yours at all and I'll have to look at the different between the ABS shafts/ujoints and the non-ABS.
