Default stock driveline with waggy front d44

I put a 89 waggy 44 in the front my jeep and i was wondering if it would work, the u joints fit but i want to know if it long enough. with jeep level, there is about 7/8 inch gap. will that be enough, if so would it be worth rebuilding the shaft with new joints or buy a complete new one wich i rather not at the moment do to the money i just put in to it

I'm running the stock shaft at ~7" with my waggy 44. I carry a spare. If it doesnt work out for you, then build a new one.

i have an MJ, so no need for a SYE, I just had a longbed shaft shortened, I'm running the stock MJ 44 in the rear.

Here is my build thread.
