Went to my driveshaft guy that I've used for years and he told me that I don't want a 1 piece shaft over 65" in length or it will not last under continuous driving at highway speeds.

My measurement came out to 71" total...
He said at that length I will end up with a vibration from the tube flex.

Kind of crushed my dreams of no carrier bearing.

I know many here have had 1 piece shafts for years, who's had trouble?
