This is a good question, glad you posted. Personally, if my trusted driveline guy told me not to do it, I'd either go along, or get a 2nd opinion from another trusted driveline guy. (But, I REALLY trusted my driveline guy in SoCal when I last asked him about something). If #2 said no, then I'd probably really start to listen. While I've had 1 support bearing go out before, I've had no other issues with the spilt shafts. Is elimination of the support bearing the only reason for the desire to switch to a single shaft? If so, not sure it's worth it.
