Lowering driveshaft help??

Hey guys just looking for some answers... I bought a flip kit and new schocks for the rear of my truck to lower it and I know that the driveshaft technically gets “longer” because my truck is now lower. My question is will I have to send it somewhere to get it cut or altered or is it just the simple fact of moving back a certain amount? I’d love some of you guys seemingly all knowing advice when it comes to these trucks lol.

The reason I said that is because I’m the djm website it says it gets longer and I need to move it back around 3/4 of an inch.. I’m asking you guys if I need to alter it or do I just need to move it

If your going with the DJM 5" flip for the rear you don't have to do anything. The brackets will reposition the axle for pinion angle and move the axle to where it needs to be.
