im just kinda worried about that jus cuz I don't want to pay all that cash n then the driveshaft ends up being too long or short...i'll be super pissed...I really gotta make sure and make the correct measurements.

ya man very true...doesnt yours have a slip yoke? if so you'd have a little wiggle room id think....luckly mine was close within a quarter inch

Ya it is but similar to a car...the slip yoke is small...is what I would do to try and save cash is find a car or truck with the same driveshaft length
