That is not what my driveshaft shop stated, but your description would seem obvious.
The TH400 yoke on my truck was very short. Probably 1.5" shorter than one in a car. He used the term "fixed yoke" because with the 2 piece driveshaft, the yoke would generally not move so they used a very short version. With a 1 piece driveshaft, the yoke was a lot longer to allow for extended travel.
I put the short version back in and it works fine. If my truck sat at normal height with a lot of suspension travel, that short yoke might be an issue with a 1 piece shaft.
