Default Ford 9" Conversion

Hello all,

Working outside my comfort zone here but I was reviewing my equipment order for a new Ford 9" rear for my 68 Firebird. I notice in the descripton that the axles were going to be diffent lengths. The sales person told me this is due to the design construction of the 9" center section and that this is done to keep the driveshaft in the center of the car.

Does this sound correct? He also indicated that they could set it up so that that housing is centered and that the drive shaft would still work with respect to u-joint angles but I'm not sure what to do with this.

I don't want it to look goofy but if this is how it's done so be it.

I appreciate any recommendation/suggestions. Thanks!
