Default Driveshaft Length with a 9" Rear with a Forged 1350?

The driveshaft I have now is a 3.5" aluminum unit built with a 41.25" center-to-center length... using a Sonnax 6081 Forged Yoke.

I'm looking at doing a 9" with a Strange Pro Case with the S-Trac. I've seen the Forged 1350 yoke is about 1" longer. Since the 9" typically needs somewhere around a ~42.25" driveshaft, would the Yoke take up the slack and allow me to use my current driveshaft without switching? Of course, until I get it and measure, I won't know. Just looking for anybody's guesstimate.

Hold off, with my Strange Pro HD and Sonnax Yoke, my driveshaft ended up being stock length believe it or not. My "x" measurement in the attached photo was 44 7/8.

Interesting. Well I don't plan to order a new driveshaft until it's all back together. But I can always swap the yoke on the Strange case either way if it helps.

On a T56 car the driveshaft will be roughly 1'' shorter going to the 9'' you can make the factory shaft work if you want to with adjustable control arms but why would you want to.
