Would the driveshaft still need to be shortened the same 1 11/16 for a RC?

If it's 4x4, then yes. ANY 4x4 needs the drive shaft modifications (shorter rear, longer front.)

No, it's actually for a 2wd sorry forgot to mention that. Would the rear driveshaft length be different on a 2wd compaired to a 4wd?

I am not sure what the difference will be due to possible variations with the extension housing. Sorry I can't help, I am sure that someone else on here can!

$170 with new "HD" u-joints but that is with a bit of a discount and it is more expensive because it is aluminum. It worked out great. I have been beating the snot out of the truck and so far have had no issues!!
