I agree, a 1-piece shaft is the only way to go. If for no other reasons, 1 less u-joint to keep serviced or replace, and no more carrier bearing to replace ever again! Of course you'll have to cut the bottom out of the carrier bearing crossmember for clearance, but it has to be a stronger alternative if you have any type of power over stock. Just my opinion. I had one made for my long wheelbase for $186.00 at Truck Pro (they work on 18-wheelers) that included two new solid u-joints and was balanced. Good luck and keep on truckin'...........Jerry
