about 12" but it is no matter because they are literally going to replace the entire tube, so they do not remove material, they remove the entire tube and add new tube from end to end
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"
Little update. Cab is off and engine, trans, and 4406 is in. Front driveshaft is too long. Rear driveshaft hits fuel tank. Any suggestions?
