Help identifying front driveshaft components?

[Rubisohoe]

Gotta 04 rubi that I'm reconditioning the front drive shaft on. My problem is that I'm not sure what part numbers I need to order for it. I was told that the Jeep had Tom woods driveshafts, but I'm not really sure if that's accurate and if it's just the rear or both.

Today I took the front shaft out and started taking it apart it get some ideas what parts I need to order.

The shaft has Spicer and neapco labeling. U-joint shows part number 293 and the centering yoke has DFE7 and 9XX on it.

Can any of you guys guide me in the right direction on getting the correct joins and yoke ordered?

There is actually a thread on all 3 Part numbers on the front and rear shaft I believe....use the search engine . Even if it's Tom woods , it may use the stock #'s

I see that one has been balanced .

You may need to mic the joints or just take them to a parts store to match them .

I would get the top of the line sealed Spicer , and have it rebalanced or checked ,if possible .

Be careful you get the correct joints in there . ...I know I didn't answer the question , but trying to give you some good info...

Shafts matter a lot on these , as they are constant active .

Keep is posted , if Jerry Bransford posts, or you can message him , his advice will be solid.

Not sure why the kit doesn’t come with 3 u joints? Anyway it looks like the kit is out of stock but your still able to piece the kit together on their website. Maybe email them and they can price match their “rebuild kit” price if there’s a difference.

Thanks a lot! I just punched in all the part numbers from the kit on their site and added that 3rd joint. Only came out about $20 more, so I went ahead and ordered it that way.

Oh and while driving to our local parts store to see if they could help, the Jeep drove much better, so I guess this was something I needed to do anyway.

Thanks again!

Awesome ...not to interject , but I had a vibe at 67 mph for while.. balancing the shaft fixed it... And it's smoother all over.

In my opinion they do drive a little bit better without the front shaft... And I was tempted to do the manual locking hubs just to take the front end out of play but there's just not a reasonable way to do it cost wise.
