Default 2wd 80e in Yukon

It's hard to search on the phone, and most people are swapping in a 4wd. What yoke do I need, to allow me to use my stock DS? Also, what dip stick tube is everyone running? A HD truck tube..

Truck is a 2001

when i did my 4L80 Swap i went with the full 1350 Joints from a new 3/4 truck, here is the difference between what the yukons/tahoe have and what i upgraded too,

I think they could cut your drive shaft and put in a 1350 yoke. you could go that route or a Custom Drive shaft like mine

1350 vs 1330 Yokes

As far as yoke, it depends on which year transmission you have and what application it came out of. You can get a bastard u joint that will convert it from your current shaft to 1350. You may need to get your shaft shortened.
