Do u speaka any englishaaaa?

Yes its that simple. You give them the specs and they make what you need.

Weight in rear springs means measure the length you need when there is weight on the rear end.
As in when the car is down on the ground not on jack stands. Sometimes the length changes ever so slightly when the car is dropped.

so its ok if i lift it by the diff and just measure the rest ?

^If you lift it from the diff then there wont be any weight on the rear springs... It says right on there " **Please do this at ride height. The car can be lifted under the differential but make sure it has the weight on the rear springs**"

the diff doesnt move. just tell them its 41"

if you measure from the back end of the trans to the flat of the diff they should know how to make it. They will design it like 1/2in-1in shorter to allow for the flex in the drivetrain and so you can actually install it. they know what they are doing.

have you looked into local drive shaft shops? they are everywhere and maybe cheaper and just as strong. I have a local shops (near me in st.pete) driveshaft but still went with driveshaft shop rear axles.
