Here's the problem with the 2 piece ( that I have anyway.)
The slip yoke up front isn't used because of the carrier bearing. the up and down movement that the rear absorbs is going to be absorbed by the U joint and the rubber shock surrounding the carrier bearing.
A slip yoke design in a one piece or even the back half of the 2 would allow better travel and less binding. I would think.

Thoughts?
