depends on if you want to use a stock xj inner shaft. the Cs themselves are different lengths,due to hos the balljoints are pressed into the inner C on the xj.
the tube diameters are the same- you can carefully cut off the xj C and persuade the cj C onto the xj housing. however,you axle is essentially narrower now,so youll need a custom inner shaft
i have had this project on the back burner for a long time now,lol... in order to use stock xj inner shafts you need to space the cj inner C out a couple inches,in whatever manner you are comfortable. anywhere from changing out the tube (
) to sleeving it with something.
ive got cj Cs with a couple inches of tube still attached. when i determine exactly how much wider it needs to be im planning to weld the 2 tubes together,then sleeve the joint with 2 halves of tubing(welded together,and to each tube) another method that would be alittle more effort(unless you own a machine shop) would be to extend the xj housing with a bigger tube,then machine the cj inner Cs to slide over that larger diameter.
if you have any other questions let me know,or of it helps you any i can snap a few pics later. right now i gotta get movin to go help dave pick up his new junk
