4406 Rear Drive Shaft

[MAS Tequila]

Can someone please let me know what the length is of the required rear driveshaft for the 44060 swap.

I bought all of the parts a few months ago and just recently pulled the driveshafts out of the shipping boxes.

After looking at some of the older posts, one with pictures, I think I may have gotten the wrong rear shaft.

I have a 2004 Expedition rear shaft that measures 38" from the centers of the u-joints.

Do I need to have this shortened?

TIA

From an expedition but was it from an expedition with a 5.4? That's what I used per the instructions in mountaineer greens writeup,

In this thread you can see the Part number sticker on my rear drive shaft.

Yes a 5.4 Expedition, but I'm not sure now if it was 4 or 2 wheel drive.

Does yours have the sticker on it? I gave you the number of the correct one.

I could be wrong, but I always thought it was a 1st gen Expedition that the shaft comes from, the one with a solid rear axle.

No, the one I have does not have a sticker.

I would rather just pay to have it shortened, if need be, than buy another one.

Someone had pictures of their parts for the swap and both the front and rear soft looked to be about the same size.

My rear one is about 6" longer than than the front one.

I was hoping someone had the dimensions.

I appreciate all of the help.
