I'd be interested in the measurements of the shortened R72 shaft?

My R72 shaft next to an SJ wish I knew about the different splines first :silly:

Another question. Regarding the spine, does not integrating the spine with the impact protection create a situation where the transfer case becomes a stress member and is at greater risk than if you were to have it isolated from the protection?
