Default New guy,old question:4l80e swap driveshaft issues

Hey guys, I've done research but I'm only finding scraps of useful info..

2002 1500 RCSB 5.3 4wd-swapping to 02/03 6.0/80e 4wd and retaining the np246 transfer case.

Are there any factory driveshafts that I can swap in for ease and expediency? I'm seeing 2500 fronts will work, but maybe only some? Not found much on the rear driveshaft.

What (and part numbers if possible) are my best bests for front and rear driveshafts?

Thanks!

There aren't any rear driveshaft for the rear from the factory that will work.

Look at my build thread when I swapped a 4l80e in my old 02 Yukon. It has all the parts and measurements.

And as a follow-up. What u-joint will I need for an upgraded driveshaft to mate to the stock rear end?

Good question I'll be needing this answer in the spring

I was told I could buy the bigger u-joint for 80e yoke and just use the caps off them.... I'm not sure if that's true
