That superlift shaft looks IDENTICAL to my ranger's front shaft. It has a double cardon on it. Wouldnt that be the ideal swap? That and grab a yoke off of a 1354 transfer case.

If that's the case, I might just go and grab an adapter and see what I can do with it.

Best bet would be to grab a driveshaft off of a 3rd gen ranger/explorer and grab the yoke off the driveshaft. Be it electric shift OR manual, it shouldnt matter. They'll be the same splines. Good luck and report back with your findings...

Gotta love the internet. All of us putting our heads together is amazing sometimes isnt it?

are if your like me you can do the swap for under 60 bucks 95-97 explorer shaft and then a 93-97 ranger front yoke and shaft and swap it into the t case you have now.. it saves you from haveing to buy that 200.00 adaptor and then haveing to shorten your d shaft.. its all in my how to

I'm gonna see if I can find an RCD kit for her. Would that need a custom driveshaft as well?

no factory d shaft can be used with that kit.. also keep in mind that kit is no longer in production.. so parts can be hard to find

I knew that. I've seen a few used ones around, and they seem to have all the parts with em. I'm sure I can piece it together, and if need be, have a buddy make some of the parts I may need.

While it does look identical to your TTB's shaft, it's not. It's shorter, and requires an adapter to fit to all 98+ Tcases with the CV tcase joint...

Stock shaft vs. Shortened 95-97 Expo shaft(w/o adapter shown)





When trying to piece together my '02 1354M case back to working order using a '95 1354M as a backhalf donor, I got stuck when trying to get the '95 front output yoke removed from the case to convert it to 98+ standard to use my already made shaft. What'd you use in that tight little hole to loosen the nut????

Even then, not all would have the competency to pull a case almost completely apart to convert. I'm comfortable with it, but most probably wouldn't be.



You will need the shaft when the "triangular" axle bracket snaps in half and causes the pinion to slap up and down eating into a crossmemeber and wipes out your shaft 'cause RCD didn't do their R&D to their fullest potential...
