I am working on planning my swap from the stock NP247 tcase to a NP242HD case. So far, I can source the replacement NP242HD tcase and shifting mech to replace the stock one in order to avoid bumping the tcase shifter into neutral. I am having a hard time locating the rear driveshaft, whether stock or aftermarket, as it is a different length over the stock one on my QT2 system. Anyone have any ideas on where I can source one or a PN to search by? I would wait to get it all installed and measure for an aftermarket one, but being a DD, I'd prefer to have all of the parts needed for the swap when I tackle it. Thanks in advance!

If I were in your shoes I would just have one built at a local driveline shop. I have had a dozen or so customs drive shafts built and balanced.

Last one I did they used the factory u-joint ends and I believe it was $250 out the door with a new tube that was balanced and ready to go with new joints.
