what do you want identified with them?
Top is a CV Shaft, no idea what vehicle it could have come from.
Bottom doesn't look like any jeep shaft I've ever seen

I was wondering if I can use the top one with a SYE.
Also, I couldn't really recognise the bottom one, so I was curious. It's more likely from a Jeep, since all the parts in this place are stock Jeep parts
The top one is the right type to use after a SYE has been installed but not unless its length is also correct for your TJ and its suspension lift height. Also an unknown is the condition of the 3 u-joints and CV centering joint in that top shaft.
That lower shaft doesn't ring a bell, it's definitely not from a TJ.

Thanks Jerry. The 3 u-joints need to be replaced for sure. They don't look great.
I have to take some measurements now!
Also check the CV centering joint too. If you are paying to have those u-joints (maybe the CV centering joint too) replaced by a shop, you may find that a brand-new shaft from someone like Tom Wood's at www.4xshaft.com is not that much more $$$. Make sure to use Spicer 5-1310x u-joints which are sealed, more durable, and stronger than greasable u-joints.

I will check the CV centering joint too. Thanks for the tip!
I wish I could find those Tom Wood's axle shafts in an affordable price in Greece. They seem very well built.
Do you want to have a guess how much I must pay for a Tom Wood's axle shaft to be shipped over here?
Price for TJ/LJ Rear Drive Shaft, Double Cardan:
$362,59 For the drive shaft
$158,66 for shipping
$254,65 for Duties and taxes (import fees)
FOR A TOTAL OF $775,90
Crazy! right?
