Makes more sense now. Just didn't want you to get it too short. Easy to shorten.

I now know lots about driveshafts :-) learning is fun!!

PS:

Driveshaft part 3, I supported the frame and let the rear suspension hang down. I then remeasured centre to centre and see 55 5/16”, when the rear suspension was up (supported on jack sands) the measurement was 56”. I will drop off the DS after work one day next week and take this item off the punch list.

Every inch is a mile.

Got my driveshaft back tonight shortened by one inch.
It is perfect now as I could just install it at full droop and easily (relative term as this DS is a brute) install with rear suspension up.

This went so well I proceeded to start fitting my driveshaft loop..... moved the exhaust clamps on the X pipe.... that helped.... and I have a plan to bend the flat bottom piece up slightly and tilt the circle more to the same angle as the DS... I need a little more room at the top of the circle.... (I would say progressive progressioning..... close to progress)
