you really gotta post a pic. some slip yokes are longer than others. somebody here may have the knowledge but maybe won't be inclined to research what you are running for a transmission so they will carry on to the next posting. a pic and some better info would help
after doing all that work and change you should block the truck up on it's frame and run the suspension through a full suspension run, from one end to the other, just to make sure the driveshaft is gonna stay where it is and also so it doesn't bottom out on the yoke or the shocks. yup, I know, its easy to do the suspension hung but not that easy to do a full jounce. taking a chance is just that, chancy.
