Re: Newbie with driveshaft question

My truck is also lowered, quite a bit but I don't have actual inches to write here as it was the PO who did the drop. So, mine is lowered and the motor is a 425 horse small block. I would rather do this correctly to begin with than to do it twice. Will shortening the stock 2-piece be strong enough? When doing the 1-piece, what do you do about that carrier bearing? That crossmember provides a lot of lateral support. Is there a new crossmember with more room for a driveshaft traveling through it at an entirely different angle? Sorry for all the questions, but I greatly appreciate your help!
