Do you have any idea where I can get such a critter?  My Grand Wagoneer
has a double cardon on the transfer case side of the front driveshaft,
but it doesn't have the ball and socket self-alignment gizmo.  That is
why there is a single cardon on the differential end.

Double cardon joints would be just the ticket for lifting a Jeep because
it would solve driveline angle vibration problems and add a few inches to
the length of the driveshaft at the same time.  All that would be left is
to use a drop pitman arm and extend the brake lines.
