I don’t have my truck in a position to measure correctly (currently on the lift with the tires off) as I’m working on installing a turbo kit. I thought to measure for DS about a week after tearing it all down to perform the turbo install (yeah, I’m that idiot).
I’m wondering if anyone knows the factory drive shaft length - NNBS 2WD with a 6l80 transmission? I’d much rather get one made now while I’m under there as opposed to putting it back together - setting it back on the ground and measuring - just to put it back on the lift to R/R.

 

Why can't you just remove your factory shaft and have a driveshaft shop make it exactly the same length.

I don't see why you have to set it on the ground to measure anything. You could also call a dealership with your VIN or stop by one to see what part number your truck calls for and it may include the length.

 

Yeah, i just decided to measure from u joint center to u joint center and came up with 85”
