Default calling tko swappers

i have read the sticky by 20004.6gt. it says you need to modify the crossmember, get a bellhousing, ect. it doesn't mention a driveshaft spacer and(tko specific?) slip yoke. im not saying hes wrong by any means but i called the one dude at ddperformance and he insisted that these items were also needed to install the tko into a 99-04 mustang. i got the impression alot of people have done the swap with out these items.

it seems like the driveshaft spacer would be a good idea ifthe tko is shorter.

Yeah, Driveshaft spacer takes all of 5 seconds to put in...

I have the stock length FRPP driveshaft and no spacer, and I have the stock GT yoke. D&D told me I would need a new yoke, I ordered it but never got charged and they never sent it. My performance shop (if you call it that) managed to screw up and put the wrong yoke back in the car (it was damanged) so I ended up using the yoke from the FRPP aluminum shaft... it fit perfectly.

well i imagine it would be easy... but i don't want to waste $50 for the spacer and $80 for the slip yoke. im guessing ddperformance is trying to push these items because theres not much profit on the tkos..
