Explorer Front shaft in a b2..

[fastford04]

I've heard tell of some ppl puttin a 1st gen explorer front shaft in the rear of a b2..with out havin any problems they just hafto get it shortned! some say if your runnin over 4inches or so of lift it will fit right in there...
im runnin probably about 2.5-3 inches or so in the rear an roughly 2 in the front..
im just wondering if any one else has done this or not..??
i kno that you must take the flange off the 1350 tcase an replace it with the yoke from a 1354 tcase...i figured id throw it out there to see who responded!

There are also 1350's that had the yoke for the rear out put.

I haven't heard of the front Explorer drive shaft, but I have heard of people running shortened Explorer rear drive shafts.

Both my front are rear shafts are explorer fronts. Just have to shortern the rear. Also the front output on the 1354 and the rear are the same spline and diameter, thus they can be swapped front to rear.
