About how long is the front section of the driveshaft (tail piece/yoke) that inserts into the transmission?

After centering my wheels in the wheel wells and mounting the new lowering but multi-leaf springs and getting the axle bracket lined up with the springs center bolt, my yoke/tail piece is out of the transmission a smidge more that it was with the mono spring that were on the truck from the previous owner.

How much yoke shaft sticking out of the transmission is too much?
