I broke my u joint and damaged my drive shaft so I figured I would get a stronger one. I I called a few drive shaft companies they recommend a carbon fiber shaft. Trying to see what some of you guys are running and have you had any problems? My truck is a 2000 rcsb and makes alil over 800 on gas and weighs about 3800lbs

 

stock 2 piece steel.

With that power, you need to get a 5" aluminum or do a steel shaft.

 

3" heavywall for now

May do carbon fiber for next trans

 

I had a 3.5 inch steel one now but my transmission guy recommend a stronger one, mainly due to the length and rpm

 

I talked to driveshaft specialist and got me a 60" long 5" diameter .125 wall aluminum driveshaft with 1410 u joints.

 

3.5" steel, made by driveshaft sepcialist in Dallas. Its short though since im 4wd at 45" or so. I had a 5" one on my lifted extended cab, and it was around 70"

 

45". That's absolutely amazing.

2wd xcab driveshaft length is 86"

 

I have a driveshaft specialists 5" aluminium.

 

Mine is 4" steel. If I ever sack up or get to the point where it matters I'm sure a lighter one could save some weight for me.
