Default driveshaft too long now?

all i did was put a moser 12 bolt in now my driveshaft is too long.

its pushed all the way into the tailshaft and i had to pry the u joint into the rear yoke. its too long...

It's posted around here how that happens. Maybe you can do a yoke swap at the rear... don't know. For the 9" in 1330 you can get 3.5" or 4.5". I got the longer one hoping my Strange DS will work since I read the 9" sit 1" shorter. If you haven't already spent for an aftermarket DS now is the time to get the right length and money well spent.
