Default Driveshaft yoke to transmission clearance

Just installed my Liberty FP tko600 on my 92 Fox with stock rearend and FMS Alum driveshaft that I had been running with my old t-5. I changed to 31 spline FMS yoke and after installing the DS I'm not sure I have enough clearance. The output shaft is 2/8 inch out from the tail housing but inside the rubber seal so I measure from 2/8 of the tail housing case when installed. I have 5/8 inch from Yoke face to output shaft end at ride height. Now when I release the suspension to full hang the yoke goes in the furthest and I'm left with 3/8 inch from Yoke end to output shaft. Now to make sure it was not bottoming out inside the yoke at this point full hang position I unbolted the DS from the pinion and pushed it all the way in until the output shaft bottomed into the Yoke and was left with 1/8 inch. This means I'm left with 2/8 inch clearance to bottoming at the suspenions fullest range and shortest Yoke and output shaft clearance point. Does anyone now if this would be enough clearance.
