how long should hte front drive shaft be?
Long enough to reach between the t-case and the diff, with enough slip joint compression movement available so it doesn't become "solid" (bottom out) when the suspension is fully compressed. If it's stock, a driveline shop should know the length, but if it's lifted, you'll need to give them more info. Measure between the face of each yoke when the truck is sitting on it's wheels and give that dimension to them. Also give them the height to center of each yoke, and they'll probably also need the distance from the bump stops and where they hit when springs are compressed.

ok cool thanks ya i think mine was lengthened when i lifted the truck, and it ruined my transfercase, i noticed that there was a alliminum spacer provided with the lift, im assuming that was made so i didnt have to lengthen the driveshaft, but of course the guy who lifted it for me put the spacer and lengthed it...bad choice haha thanks again
