Damn guys....I really feel like a moron now. So paid $130 to get OCD's donor shaft shortened and picked it up today. Got under truck excited to get 4x4 functioning again and it is won't fit. The CV joint of the later model doesn't allow as  much (enough) angle. See pic with each fully bent side by side.

I thought some of you guys had these later model shafts on the first gens. What's the work around? Is your axles twisted to reduce shaft angle?
