The nine inch driveshaft length typically needs to be one inch longer than the 10 bolt/12 bolt length. The link above is to the PST driveshaft we sell, with the length option. Bob

Exactly. Make sure that you have the suspension loaded when measureing it. Most performance websites Like Strange Engineering and Denny's Driveshafts have a guide to show you how to measure for a custom length driveshaft correctly. Word of advice, don't go by what other people say their DS length is, measure it yourself and get it exact for your car. Not all cars are the same. Otherwise, you could be flushing your $$ away on the word of someone on the net...

I have a moser 9" in my car and ran it for about 5 years with my T56 with the stock drive shaft. I bought the NAPA hybrid u-joint with the 1350 caps for the rear end and stock caps for the stock drive shaft. Went 10's and 60' in the 1.5's with no problem ever. I just took out the stock drive shaft only because I swapped to a TH400.
