So what all factory setups come with 1350 Ujoints? Mine had them stock, I never realized it till I took the measurements on it when I ordered my new driveshaft. I was kinda shocked. On a side note Ill have my new driveshaft Friday.

I thought once it's balanced, u just forget about it. Or only if u change gears, & it therefore changes critical?

Ummm, ****... Ill weigh the stocker, then Ill weight the packaging and subtract the weight of the packaging from the shipping weight ( 35lb) It has to be at least twice the weight.

Mine is that long too. I guess I will need to give them a call. What is the hp rating on your shaft?

Thats a beefy looking piece there Pat. One less thing to worry about.

Im def. going to invest in one.

Are you still going to have room for drive shaft loops? I think you should just curious.
