ext cab shaft length

[gnardoom]

im putting an explorer shaft into my truck to get rid of the ratbagged 2 peice. its expensive to extend it so i was looking for an accurate u joint centre to centre measurement to give the driveline shop. the truck is a 92 ranger, ext cab, 4.0, 5 speed 4x4 with 1.5 inchs of lift. i tryed to get a 98 shaft but its impossible to find up here. it needs 47 inchs weld to weld but this is a sketchy measurement because im sure the explorer slip yoke is a different size so i will need the u joint center to center if anybody is sure of it, thanks

could you not just take your truck to the driveline shop? im sure they can measure it up as well

its too hard to measure with the old shaft in there
