I'm ordering a rear end, will I need to get a new driveshaft?


You do not need to shorten your driveshaft or get a new driveshaft for 12 bolt or Ford 9" rear ends with a standard pinion yoke. If keeping your stock driveshaft, you will need to use a conversion u-jointClick here for more information. 

Exceptions:
  • If you get a Strange Engineering 12 bolt rear end and select the chrome moly pinion yoke (SKU# STR-OPRG17) then you will need a driveshaft that is 1/2" shorter as the chrome moly pinion yokes are 1/2" longer. You can get a new chrome moly driveshaft from us that is the proper length.
  • If you are getting a Dana 60 rear end with a standard pinion yoke then the drivehaft must be shortened 1.625" or you can get a new chrome moly driveshaft from us that is the proper length.
  • If you get a Strange Engineering Dana 60 rear end and select the chrome moly pinion yoke (SKU# STR-OPRG12) then you will need a driveshaft that is 2.125" shorter as the chrome moly pinion yokes are 1/2" longer. You can get a new chrome moly driveshaft from us that is the proper length.
