Re: Driveshaft help

If I were you, I would take some measurements of your setup and take the driveshaft you have to the local shop and see what they could do for you. (Action Machine website has some articles about measuring)

My plan was to do that since I had my trucks original driveshaft and my donor vehicle driveshaft. I ended up ordering the one piece 3.5" diameter aluminum(The larger diameter was because I was borderline on being too long for smaller diameter). I ended up having the driveshaft hit the top of the trailing arm crossmember when the suspension was fully compressed(6 inch rear drop). I cut the hole bigger in the crossmember and made a stiffener to add to the crossmember. Might should have stuck with my original plan to use 2-piece.
