Driveshaft flange length

Could somebody please measure their rear driveshaft length from flange to flange?

Also if you are up to it on the front from the flange the the 1/2 yoke on the front pinion?

Thanks!!

Never mind, stupid question as all are different due to lifts.

What I was looking for is how much slip joint clearance I should have before the driveshaft fully compresses.

I will google it up.

Slip distance should be 2.5” to 3.5 “ long
