Install the kit then measure for your new shaft.

The dimension you need is from center of u-joint cap to center of u-joint cap.

Once you've got that dimension you can order the correct length shaft.
I've got a wide variety of lengths to choose from:

Your selection will be based on not only the length, but also on which type of SYE you have....and at 8" of lift you will have to install an SYE.
