You might be ok. Just make sure you have enough in and out play for the driveshaft so nothing binds when the suspension compresses.
My NBS def needed a modded shaft. The old one won't fit at all.

Stock aluminum driveshaft will vibrate above 95-100mph and not rated for speeds that high. They are known to explode above those speeds. There is a reason they set the factory limiter to 98 mph.
I'd go with a built steel shaft. And the front driveshaft should be a steel unit and I haven't heard of any problems with those ever.

Also, I would NOT select a steel shaft in this long of an application. One easy way to lower critical speed is to increase mass.
Stock shaft is approx .06 thick. Most aftermarket aluminum shafts are around double that at .125.You'd get further in life if you knew when to shut your pie hole and listen.
