evo 8/9 driveshaft measurements

Does anyone have the resting working length measurements of a stock or 2-piece EVO 8/9 driveshaft? I need to determine if the AWD setup I have will allow for a stock EVO driveshaft or if I'm going to need to have one custom made.

I'm using an EVO 8 transfer case and EVO 9 rear differential, so really it's just the length that I'm after when the vehicle is resting on its suspension.

Realize the stock shaft center section is offset slightly out of line with the TC and rear diff. This means the straight length of the stock shaft is actually a little longer then actual measurement you are looking for.

For an aftermarket aluminum 2-piece DS on my build, should I also be going for that slight off-set, or just have it straight? We have the TC and rear diff completely aligned < 1 degree.

Do we know what distance the center section is moved over by + the entire length of the driveshaft?

I don't know if it's needed or not really. All I was getting at is that if you set up your diff and TC spacing to be the same as the EVO, and then were to do a straight shot with an evo driveshaft, the shaft might be slightly too long.

We'll just take our own measurements and if the DSS identifies them as being basically exactly the same as the EVO DS, then I guess I'll be using one of their aluminum EVO driveshafts lol.
