Default 4l80e swap on Silverado

I have 4l80e for my 06 5.3 Silverado ext cab, I have everything for it other than a driveshaft I believe the trans is 32 inches long and I have a wheel base of 119 inches I'm not entirely sure and my bed is 78in. what size drive shaft do I need because my stock one won't work because I had a transfer case.
lol.... so basically I'm looking for a driveshaft size and a short or long slip yoke to go with it for the 4l80e.

Ive also heard of people putting a 2500 shaft on it but the u joints was a problem.
Please support me with information Thank you guys....

Do you own a tape measure?
That is the only correct way to know what you will need.

Lifting or lowering a truck can slightly alter the driveshaft length needs.
Some trans have full splined outputs, some don't...that will change yoke engagement
Etc

Just measure and have a shaft built to suit your swap
