The stock tube is tappered making it impossible to just shorten. The best driveshafts to use are 4.6 expedition in 97-98 when they still had a solid rer axle, this driveshaft is straight and will bolt into 4 door explorers and most rangers (I forget which one but I think its longbed) that have been converted to the 4406 t case
It can get confusing when you ask them to remove a certain amount, driveline shops want to know your flange to flange distance at ride height to get it 100% every time
If your tcase uses a slip yoke rear flange (4406 does) then you want to install the slip yoke, press it all the way in as far as it can go, then pull it out 1.5-1.75" and measure flange to flange for the driveshaft flange to flange length
This is all the "plunge" depth you need from ride height, about 1.5"
