drive shaft
what year was your axle from? if its the long gusset one fom 84-85 trucks(gusset goes whole way to knuckle) your original drive shaft is the rite lenght and will bolt up. the 84-85 and 86 and up shafts are the same lenght. i noticed this from stripping the trucks i got to sell parts on ebay that were the drive shaft attaches at the front is the same. if the axle is from a 83 or older you will need the newer yoke. the older trucks used smaller bolts and the pattern was difference. hope this helps.

I want to do a spring over too, but I still have my dead/dying '85 EFI sitting in the driveway. Gotta swap out the whole truck for a 4door first

actually its the 83 and older trucks that have the lower angle of rotation for the drive shafts. the 84-85 drive shafts are the same angle as the 86 and newer ifs trucks. what makes them better is that where the u joint goes into the flange on 84 and up trucks it is a 1/4 of a inch farther from flange than on 83 and older trucks.

84-85 rears
the only difference in the 84 and 85 axles and the 83 older ones is the lenght of the gusset on the drivers side. the 84-85's they go to the knukle 81-83 the gusset goes to the spring 79-80 have no gusset at all. the yoke is the same only difference is the bolt pattern 84-85 use bigger bolts than the 83 and older ones. the angle of rotation has nothing to do with the axle it is all in the drive shaft. the 84-85 yokes are the same bolt pattern as the ifs trucks. i got a couple of the 84-85 axles but there isn't any advantage really except the gusset actually with the 79-80 axles you would get better ground clearance since they don't have any gusset
