If you would have dropped them in the freezer overnight to shrink the studs, they would have went in a lot easier.

Yea I thought of that after I started haha. I sprayed some WD 40 on them and well that didn't help to much .

It’s only $50 to shorten one, at my local Point Spring and Driveshaft in Fairmont WV.
But it did cost me $350 for a new one built out of 3.5” tube.

Dang, that's cheap. It's around 190 for shortening with all the proper connectors to the 3rd and the transmission and 300 for a new one at one of the local driveline shops. For just 100 more it's smarter to get a new one.
