use same drive shafts, Adjust linkage on unibody. possible change shifter arm on t case or reindex arm depending on what vechcle it came out of. Have to use pre 96 t case to get the long 2 piece  tailshaft assembly. And spline count and shaft lengh have to be the same, 23 spline and I forget the shaft length . Just did the reverse swap, blew up a 231 went to a 242 as i got a really good deal.And that was an xj ans not a susuki jx? Now would be a good time for a sye if you are going to lift it.

I have a nice write up for a zj, but I'm sure the rules still apply?
Might help for reference???
