Shortening a driveshaft in a S-10

Ok I know some of you have had to deal with this. My 96 S-10 std cab's rear end is shot because the driveshaft was being shoved into it.

How much do you shorten the driveshaft to fix it?

Also, does anyone know of a shop in NC that will do this at a decent price?

Thanks!

anybody?

Am I missing something here? With the 53168413516843545.3 S-10s on this site...nobody else has had to do this?

I need to get my truck back on the road asap...does anybody have any info?

i have bagged alot of old & new s-10's so i never heard of having to cut down a driveline.......

just move your axle back...might be less of a hassle if you cant find a driveline shop.

if its a one piece shaft you want there to be about half of the splines in the rear of the transmission at ride height, if its a two peice u wanna make it to where theres no pressure on the carrier bearing, hope that helps
