How long is a piece of string? It depends on how you drive. More is more.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Hi Rob welcome to the club :thumbup:

As said the more engagement the better but not so much as to allow the propshaft to bottom out when the suspension is fully compressed.
I've not heard of a minimum recommended amount and propshaft spacers are readily available to compensate for the forward movement.
Is yours already modified as many of them are IE: lift springs ,SPOA

I do know that when propshaft measurements are given 25mm minimum of engagement is quoted so this may be the least you can run at :er: :er:
