Xj Dana 44 Pinion Length

I am picking up a Dana 44 out of a 87 cherokee tomorrow. Will my existing driveshaft work from my Dana 35? I am worried about the length. I found the following i an old thread and didn't know if it was true. If it is then my shaft should work.

"
Not sure what your asking since the T-case/Trans options change.But here are my axle measuremnts from "center of axle to center of pinion yoke"
D35=11 1/2"
D44=12"
C8.25=12 5/8" "

IIRC,those numbers are correct or extremely close.

Actually, RCP I just looked at the thread and that is your quote from 1995! LOL Man, you have been on here for a while. Thanks for the info.

I actually meant 2005. But, that is still cool that you have been around for 8 years.
