Can't give you a number, but your best bet is to measure the total throw of the stock driveshaft (all the way closed, and all the way open) and then measure the distance flange to flange for the overall length at ride height on flat ground. Take those measurements and your stock driveshaft to folks who do that for a living. They'll hook you up.
