are the CV drive shafts from the V8 a direct swap into a ZJ with the 242? I think it is, but wanted to confirm.

yeah, right now my front ujoint is squeaking and the upper joint on my RE front track bar is going bad. so going over 75 is a bit interesting.

do you have a SYE or other aftermarket shaft?

The only place a CV OEM shaft is used in the front. The rear is a slip type into the tcase. Now do you want to swap in an OEM shaft into the front? SYE's are only used in the rear. And would require an aftermarket shaft.

I've seen one Grand Driver break two stock CV jointed front driveshafts with only a bb and 31s. I believe that you could get a CV jointed front driveshaft from Tom Woods and it would be a ton stronger for the application that you desire.

I'm at 6.5 with the ujointed front driveshaft and have no vibes at all.

Don't start with me. All I have to say is I have no vibes whatsoever at 110MPH turning 35's, and have no driveline binding whatsoever throughout my entire suspension cycle; how many peopel without an SYE at 6" can say that?
