Re: 1 or 2 piece driveshaft

well from my experiance and im sure people will disagree, in high school i had a 3/4 ton 4x4 lifted on 35's with a 383stroker and a turbo 400 with the one peice i kept poppin u joints, when i went to the 2 piece it worked great for as long as i had it.

Re: 1 or 2 piece driveshaft

2 piece is considered to be stronger, just because 2 small shafts with a center support are going to flex less than one huge shaft that has no center support. For example, regular half ton trucks got a 1 piece shaft, but the big 10 or heavy half trucks got a 2 piece.
