Question drive shaft length different W/ford 9" ?

I have an A4 with the stock length driveline. Im getting a ford 9" and im wondering if the stock driveline length will be ok? Can anybody that has made the swap tell me if they had to modify there shaft length?

From what I have read, it's kinda a hit and miss deal. Some people have no problems with a stock length and some peolpe needed the DS 1/2" shorter. In one case, there was one guy that needed a longer one. I would see if the stock length DS worked first before I would do anything.
