Is that 7/8 loaded? If so that is plenty & I like 5/8-3/4. (depends of the intent use).

It is probably more than enough, maybe too much. Instead of more than enough, I prefer just enough. It makes for a more stable yoke.
The 1" clearance is a blanket rule to cover everything including trucks. They sit high, lots of clearance and are often loaded, less clearance.
If a car sits low and loaded. The clearance of 1" will never come close to bottoming out. It will only pull out as the suspension droops. It may move forward less than 1/4".

this brings up the question of which seal is on the tailshaft, the shielded one, or the cheapo one without the big, rubber end. and, as always, i have done the "bottom, then pull out 3/4", but i don't remember if that was with, or without, the shielded seal in place. refresh my memory please !
