Length is correct. The 97-02 Expedition and 97-03 F150 with the 4.6 use the same front shaft. I believe you will need to remove the flange off the front end and replace it with a 1330 to 1310 companion U joint.

What about the yoke, what one should be used?

Front yoke doesn't get touched, remove the flange from the short side of the slip joint and use this U Joint, Spicer PN: 5-134X

The rear drive shaft and slip yoke from the same expedition is the other drive shaft you need.

I thought that the rear driveshaft was supposed to be out of a 5.4 expedition not a 4.6.

I finally have the rear driveshaft; this is supposed to be out of a 2000 expedition 5.6 4x4.

I picked up the bw 4406 transfer case the other day out of a 2000 F150 4.6 with front driveshaft attached. The front shaft is a toothpick compared to the rear. Hopefully all these parts are right. Now to get the u-joint's and a new trans mount then it is time for the install.

Sorry, I wasn't clear, I meant same model, not an F150. A Navigator of the same year range has it as well
