Default Driveshaft for 700r4 conversion

What did you do about the Driveshaft length in converting to a 700r4?
Did you cut it or find one the right length?
Please include a general price as I am looking for an option on this subject before I get mine installed.

OK, well thats good to know. Some shop said they wanted about 450 to cut and balance it and I told them to get lost. I knew that sounded way to high. Now the problem is where to get it cut. I live in Phoenix, AZ so if anyone can do it around here or know someone around here that would be great.

You must have a heavy truck repair shop. They will know of a drive shaft place. In Canada it is $40 to cut and reinstall the yoke and another $40 for balancing. Those are canadian prices.
