Lots of variables because no two 8.8 conversions are the same

What did you do for the conversion?

if you call moser or strange and tell them you have stock f-body length axles with f-body ends on the wheel side with 8.8 ends on the diff. side(if it makes a difference) they should be able to make you whatever you need.

^ They're probably still going to ask you to measure everything. I'm sure they wouldn't want to just guess on making a set of axles and then ship them to you with the idea that they may work.

true. you could always call and ask the guy you bought the rear from. or use your good axle for reference on any questions the manufactorer has.
