Drive shaft questions

Hello community I need some informational help
I have owned 3 F150 since 1994 luv the truck
My current F150 was in the 2002 SEMA show from ATS (AUTO TRUCK SPECIALTIES).
It was Lowered with Air bags and a 4-link and a magnacharger super charger

all these years later it only has 74,000 miles and the 4-link is junk so I am changing it back to stock suspension with springs but will keep a 2-4 drop.

The drive shaft got damaged beyond repair, last December when the air bag system finally failed. That’s why I am changing it back to leafs and coil springs. I have the original springs from the truck. I need a daily driver to haul dirt bikes.

I am looking for an Aluminum Drive shaft for my 2002 F150 supercrew cab 4x2.
Does anyone know what the length should be from flange face to flange face?

Is the steel drive shaft the same, why aluminum beside less rotating mass?

Is the long bed extra cab f150 the same length drive shaft s the Super Crew Cab shortbed?

If you have a 4 bolt flange on both ends of driveline you will not be able to run an aluminum driveshaft. But if the yoke slides into trans and has splines hanging out that will allow an aluminum shaft. And look into inland empires for measuring sheet will show you how to
