Never had a problem with, nor ever paid attention to any rag-joint issues. So question is: What typically goes wrong with rag-joints such that an XJ lower shaft would be more better?
It's a good upgrade if you run a bodylift too. Will definately pick up a couple since there are a ton of XJ's at my local yard.

I did the swap last weekend. A couple notes from my experience...
- I had to take the entire radiator/AC condenser assembly off because the GC shaft would not telescope in (to make it short enough to remove).
- take the clamp bolt from the newer shaft home with you.
- A few good whacks with the small sledge got both sets to separate.
- The new lower shaft was quite a bit shorter than my '81 Wag shaft.
Looks good enough, though.

Yup, big hammer smashing got it seperated. Feels good, but I guess I have to wait for the drivetrain to actually be in the Jeep and working to really rate it . Certainly looks better than the worn out rag joint!
