Long travel driveshaft?

I just completed an axle swap and leaf conversion on my 91 XJ. My problem is when I used the shackles in the rear, plus the added length of the Dana 44 pumpkin my front driveshaft is too short. When the suspension is sitting normally the driveshaft is completely compressed (no rearward travel), and the length is about 30 inches, the driveshaft off the Wagoneer where I got my axles from is only 29 inches fully extended, so that won't work either.

What are my options here? I don't really have the money right now to spend on a driveshaft but I'd like to make a trail run or two in the next month or two. I've heard people say I have to get a long travel driveshaft, who makes these, and what kind of money am I looking at? Is there alternatives?

Thanks!
