I have yet to dig out that front drive shaft from the box up in the attic, where its been for like 10 years now. The question remains as to whether it will need to be shortened. If it goes on OK, and has even a very little bit of slide movement left than I think it will be OK, since it doesn't have to slide very much anyway.
I'm looking forward to your thread on the 5.9 (and trans) installation. What are you thinking in regard to the motor mounts?
Well sometimes I type faster then I think, And im terrible on a keyboard!! That being said, looking on factorychryslerparts.com it would appear that the part no. 53005551 (front driveshaft) is the same for 87 4wd 5 speed and the 95 5.2 4wd. with a manual transmission.
So it should fit, hopefully.
For motor mounts, I plan to use stock v6 mounts. I will try to reinforce them like you did.
