Ok, I have a Dodge Ram that Im putting a pair of D60s under. Had both of my d-shafts shortened 2 inches (like I read people doing on here). The front looks like its too far away. Has anyone taken apart the Dodge half ton driveshaft? I need to know how long the spline part is. Im afraid it might be too short now and might come undone when articulating the suspension, but dont know. Any help would be appreciated... Thanks- Jon

FYI.. for future knowledge... when you screw around with driveshafts you wait till everythings done.. a shop will usually ask for measurements from the pinion yoke to the flange/yoke/spline on a t-case and then they'll calculate the neccesary lenghtening/shortening according to that.

MIke.
