u can swap it in, it just pushes the driveshaft towards the tranny a bit, its better to get an abs driveshaft to prevent tranny seal and driveshaft suspension bearing from wearing too quick, mine is like that, nothing ever happened ---

i had a vlsd in mine, and ran a welded diff that use dto be a non abs open diff… i had no problem stretching the distance, so i wouldnt see why there would be much of a problem going the otehr way. ---

streching the distance is different cuz ur not putting presure against the tranny, however pushing it till its 100% tight with no shaft play or nething is the scary part. i got it in with no problems… just a lil tight to go on but it fits almost flawless. ---
