It is almost the same, but to answer your question - No.
With the transmission lowered the center shafts lay almost flat. To maintain a constant length between the trani and difs (same as stock) the chassis had to grow about 1/8th inch on each side(a diagonal line is longer than a flat between the 2 points).
I wanted aftermarket solid shafts to have to same fit as stock - so the extra length addresses that.

This may not be why you asked, but....
If you use stock posts and have then set at the factory height (about center), the post will easily flex to fit the original body holes. If you run your body low (with short posts) you will need to trim a bit off the hole to fit.
