Driveshaft length for a Moser 9"

I recently bought a Moser 9" that I havnt installed yet. I know I need a custom length driveshaft for it and I was going to order one of the Denny's HD's. I have the instructions for the sizes and dimensions he needs but I wanted to see if I could order it now if I could find the correct length for the ds. I will be installing it in the next weekend or so but I heard these can take a few weeks to receive so I wanted to try to order it now so the cars not down for a while after the install. Thanks.

Where did you get the 9" and how much did you spend if you don't muind me asking? I am looking into options right now but don't want to spend $2k. I may do the 8.8" or a 12bolt. LMK Later Clint

I bought it off someone from the board locally here, he needed to sell it quick, I got a killer deal on it. It's got:

3.89 gears with a nodular iron case
35 spline gun drilled axles
Detroit locker
and Metco heavy duty LCA's

All for $1450. If I sold the LCA's I basically only paid $1250-$1300. I really didnt want a detroit locker but I couldnt pass up the deal. I'm just going to swap the locker out and go with something a little more streetable.

I'll see how it is with the locker, if it's not that bad I'll stick with it, Some people say the lockers arent very streetable. There arent many choices for a 35 spline but I found at least one on Summit.

I'm running the LPE 3.5" aluminum driveshaft with a Moser 9". The LPE shaft length worked with my stock 10 bolt and with the Moser. All I did was have the U joint replaced to match the yoke. The LPE will be a lot lighter than the Denny's shaft. If you do a search, you'll find guys with big HP that haven't broken their LPE shaft.
