Re: Fixed yoke vs slip yoke

Other than when there are issues requiring the vehicle be run w/o rear driveshaft, the only problem with slip yoke extension is the housing strength. Proper driveshaft length is it's own matter with either set-up. Bad things can happen with over extension. The only problem I can think of with the 34" length is if the angle is too steep. Going to fixed yoke shortens the assembly creating a longer shaft length and lessening the angle. Front driveshafts are that short and work just fine... up until lifting calls for more length
