4 ft 11 inches was what mine used.. you failed to mention if it was a long shaft or short shaft.

i dont know if its a long or short, i think i have the wrong one, because the u- joints mate up to the rearend as they should

better call or go to the local driveshaft shop and ask them what they measure from or you might have to do it twice. i speak from experience .2 driveshafts cost me 400$.
