65 for a 1 piece or 95 for a 2 piece is what we charge for a shorten and BALLANCE! No ujoints, no carrier bearing, no yokes, if it is a 2 piece we will check the center stub, bolt on yoke, and carrier bearing. I don't know what our 2 shops in california charge but I cant imagine much of a difference.

theirs no way I'd ever install a driveshaft that wasn't properly ballanced. You can if you wish, it does make it cheaper in the short run. If you don't ballance both pieces of a 2 piece driveline together as an assembly they are not ballanced.
