Thanks for the input guys, I'm not new to driveline work and hearing other people confirm what I was told (and kind of knew) is good.

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.

I trust my guy completely, he's built me driveshafts for jeeps, cars, trucks etc. over the last 20 years and I have no reason at all to doubt his word.
That was one reason because of bearing failure, but he showed me a different style carrier that I think will be the trick.
The bearing is pressed into a sleeve instead of the rubber, he said it's the best thing out there right now.
