Your driveshaft WILL need to be shortened.

IMO, I would also order new springs and my advice is to get them from ESPO.com. While you wait for those, order the new U bolts and shock plates.

Man-O-man did that look good once it was installed.

Once everything arrives, after there installed, you can measure for the driveshaft.
