being coil front end it will be fine...its never gunna end up to short as the radius arms swing on an arc. only way the front shaft will end up too short is if u move the front diff forward

thanks boys

didnt think about the radius arms going in an arc
should be fine then

you can see how i could be worried as the shaft is longer then before lol
