Default Front drive shaft spacer for 4" lift

hey, I've been searching the web and the forums but can't seem to find the info I need. I put a 4" rough country lift in and need a spacer for my front drive shaft. Does anyone know the spacer size. I pulled the drive shaft off until I get around to replacing the u joints and forgot to measure it. I looked at a few websites from manufacturers that make a similar kit and none mention needing a spacer, just that some modifications may be needed.

You should not require a spacer.. if you did .. rough country would offer that ..

I'm assuming there's enough movement in the shaft to take up the space. It was a long day of installing the kit and I just took the shaft off because it needed new u joints and never really looked at it. Not only do they put the shaft 90 degrees out of phase, but Instead of putting clamps on the boot there were zip ties on it. It got wet inside and it was seized up and no movement from it. I had to beat it apart. I haven't used the 4x4 in a while. I'm assuming after cleaning it up and lubing it it should fit.
