so here's the deal. pulled it off and took it back to the shop who made it. I showed him the picture of it installed and he said it's fine, there is a lot more of the shaft still in. so I slid it out until it almost came out. so, with it installed there is about 2 1/4" of slip showing, leaving 4" of slip still in the tube. when I slide it almost all the way out, you can see the slip splines are almost 7" long.. I hope I am making sense.

1st picture is completely collapsed, 2nd is all the way open (I think, didn't want it to slide out). and from the pic a few posts up you can see how much is showing with it installed

and this is the trans side yoke. you can see from the clean part how much is in the trans. he said this is also fine because there is still about 1.5 - 2" left of slide room

One thing to consider when making decisions on the transmission yoke spline engagement is how far are the splines recessed inside the tailshaft of the transmission as well as are the splines full length inside the yoke or are the recessed or not machined completely to the bottom of the bore?

Here's a link to more information on spline engagement from a 4x4 shop. They built my driveline.

not a whole lot done lately, just driving it here and there. I threw some kilmat on the kick panels and put some carpeted kick panels on with some velcro. I like them! ordered some carpet hold down sills and the 3 door door rubber to quiet it down some. will need them to get the doors right when doing body work anyways.

also pulled the kick panel vents off to clean them up, re gasket, and paint

thanks, they are made by ACC just like the carpet I used...pretty good quality. I rebuilt the vents and put new home made gaskets in and got them back in. just don't be a moron like me and use a drill bit to make the hole for the handle bracket...I ripped a straight line all the way down

Yeah, you need to use a small soldering iron or hobby wood burner tool to make the holes in loop carpet. That's too bad that happened.
