swapping to 9" means shorter driveshaft?
When swapping to a 9" would the driveshaft need to be shortened or will I get away with my factory length one? I know I'll need a conversion u-joint at least if I keep my factory length custom aluminum one.

I think the stock one with the u-joint will work napa-427 I think is the part number for it.
