You might call FFR. I have the new IRS like yours and they originally sent a driveshaft that was too long.
They sent me a replacement with a return label for the old one - no muss no fuss.

Nope, I just called them and said my driveshaft was too long. They said that they had the wrong specs originally and took care of it. I would call them and get their 2 cents and then go from there.

I got it to fit, once I shimmed up the trans, it was still tight but tech at ffr said it was okay to crush the dust seal on the trans. So... Next is alternator and gagues
