Driveshaft Length

I have been running 4.5 (really more like 5.5) inches of lift now for about 2 years. I have been getting away with a t-case drop but the vibes are getting more noticeable. this is because I regeared to 4.56 and the shaft is now spinning much faster.

My question is what driveshaft length are people running with a Dana 44 and ax15 transmission. Or maybe a more appropriate question is by how much does the mounting distance change on the t-case (then I can make my own measurements).
Also I am thinking of buying a driveshaft from these guys

Do they have a good reputation (nevada guys chime in possibly)? if not I will go with a local shop.

Hey just a money saving tip. Try using a front drive shaft with a standard sye kit it should save you a good bit of coin. With a dana 44 a front shaft should be really close to the same length. I used a front from a xj with a 4.0, aw4, and a 231. Worked perfect. Payed 5 bucks from a u pull it junk yard.

I worked for a custom 4x4 shop in Las Vegas for a while and that is who did our DLs for us when ever we needed custom stuff done. I think there a good place we never had any issues with them. Thats a pretty good price too.

The owner James is a great guy to deal with.
I have him do all my locker and gear work.

The shaft wont be even close to long enough because I have an ax15 and its considerably shorter. Any one know the change in mounting distance of and HD SYE?

Bump, anyone? I would like to have my driveshaft before I start the install so im back to driving faster
