Default 2 pc to 1 pc driveshaft conversion

Anyone ever do this? I can find info on a ton of older chevy/gmc trucks doing 1 piece swaps from 2015+ trucks. But can we?

I have a 2014 chevy express 2500 extended

Is there a reason you want to convert it?

The length of the driveshaft is key to making sure the slip yoke is positioned properly. Too close to the output shaft and the yoke/output shaft will collide with suspension movement - too far away and the yoke can wobble and damage the shaft and bearing, as well as the yoke, u-joint and driveshaft.
