Driveshaft length with M6 and 9" needed Please
Hi, I have been searching and not come to a confident solution. I need to order a DS but I do not know how long to make it. I do not have the rear yet nor do I have a slip yoke to measure the length even if I had a rear in the car. There has to be a length that everyone uses for this or maybe some guys can do me a favor and measure their set-up? I want to place the order this week so I can have it next week. Some say it is stock length and some say it needs to be slightly longer. Please indicate length in inches as I do not know stock length nor do I have a DS to measure as I sold mine.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!

my inland empire ds from moser was about .5"-1" longer than the stock aluminum. You would be doing yourself a huge favor by waiting until the rear was in the car, at ride height with pinion angle set before ording a shaft. No reason to rush and end up with one that's too long or too short.

Bob,
I am going to have LCA brackets welded in, so if those get welded in .5" back with a stock length DS I should be good to go? Also what is stock length? Mine is gone so I have no idea.
