Re: What is the correct way to measure driveshaft?

end of trans tailshaft to center of ujoint on rear end is a great measurement. That's the measurement we prefer, if it's wrong it's our fault well make it right free.

max driveshaft lenth is mosty limited by driveshaft diameter. 2" diameter would be good for about 40", 3" diameter woud be about 60". Too long or spinning too fast can turn into a jumprope and ruin your day.
