It would be easier to shorten a used one that is too long, than to have one re-tubed to make it longer.
Turp, what was the reason you had one built? Did the new 'shaft eliminate all driveline vibrations? I have a little vibration on my freshly-lifted '73 K20 at around 55mph. I was thinking I "shouldn't" have vibrations due to the long wheelbase, but the 4" Rough Country lift is pretty tall. I had to fab a couple of lowering brackets for my E-brake cable, too.
