Re: drive shaft

I put a one-piece in my SWB; it's lowered 5" in the rear. The pillow block where the old center support bearing bolted in had to be cut out, but other than that I had no issues. If you don't already, you'll need an adjustable panhard bar. If the rearend is kicked over to the side your driveshaft may rub where it passes through the crossmember.
