Another Divorced T-Case Question

[ARAMP1]

I'm planning on swapping a Cummins Turbo Diesel and manual trans (either NV4500 or NV5600, depending on what I find) into my crew cab dually. So far, I've been looking for only 4wd trucks (that have been damaged and/or will make a good donor). But, I have been recently thinking about running a divorced case. Since it's a crew cab, I've got more than enough frame length, but my question is this; how long is too long for the front drive shaft? Anyone ever heard of running a carrier bearing and two shafts for the front?

There is a max length for a driveshaft. I do not remember where the line goes but it is a thing to keep in mind.

My truck has a two piece front driveshaft and a divorced 205.
Starting from the engine, TH400, NP208, a really short middleshaft and finally the divorced NP205. The carrier bearing is bolted to the same custom crossmember wich is supporting the adapter between the TH400/NP208.

Front output flange to center carrier 31 1/2" - center carrier to the u-joint at the frontaxle 28 ".
