I got it,
ZF is 32in
E4od is 38in.

Even though i have a ZF, i'm gonna order the one for the e4od since my truck is lifted and i need the longer shaft. I'm just gonna hope the angle of the dangle is still good.

FYI the E40D shaft bottoms out in the slip yoke and will not work. I tried this before and the ZF5 shaft is good up to 4in or maybe more but I never went past a 4in lift.

I wanted my zf shaft to extend into the splines more(they were a little sloppy at the stock length) and I made a new driveshaft that was 2 inches longer than stock. I made it so it barely went past the u-joint yokes when it was compressed, so I could install it. If the E4OD shaft is 6 inches longer, like the other guys said it's going to be way too long.
