I always set suspension so flanges are straight across from each other. Measure inside to inside. then subtract 1/4 from total length. You will also want to ck them at full droop.

I needed 17" axles, had to buy 17.5 and cut them down. The aftermarkets have around 3" of splines. Appletree is having a sale until Dec. 2. I saw some up to 40% off.
