Ok Derek, I saw my spare shafts and thought "I better measure them now Or I never will..." so here they are...
Short side is 25.5", with 10" stub so inner shaft is 15.5" long u-joint center to end
Long aide is 42", with 10" stub so inner shaft is 32" long u-joint center to end
Stub was measured, 10" from tip to center of U-joint.
And just because I like to here are pics of such a boring topic lol

Could be fuel pump try turning the key half way on a couple times before you start it to c if it starts better. Could just need a tune up spark plugs cap rotar ect,
Looks great !!! you said you were installing it yesterday? and you posted pic at 1:30pm. did you install it in 3 hours ?? If you dont mind me asking...what did the lift cost and where did you buy it from ?

I think I dropped about $500 on the new goodies (New 3" leaf packs to replace my shot leaves, 2" pucks I had lying around, new longer shocks and an adjustable double shear track bar), parts were all sourced from the interwebs & 4WP's.
Took about four hours actually, a little experience and antisieze on the first install are a big help.

Waiting around for rollover videos to trickle in from safari. Here is one that is a good example of why 15 inches of lift can be a bad idea. Almost saved it!
No roll on this guy, but judging by these two videos, we can expect this guy to roll sometime soon...Maybe on "stories from the ER" as well.
