what length of drive shaft should i order? If you order from Dr. Diff, he asks for two measurements, and some other questions, of course. But Idk if you have to call to have something other than a 1350 joint shaft made.

yes, with it all the way into the trans. I calculate 2 3/4 of spline engagement statically. Probably 3" under load. Enough or do i need a new drive shaft?
