I just got off the phone with high angle driveline and was told that there's no way in hell he'd build something that long for a performance app... he recommended upgrading the Yokes to a 1350 style, eliminating the carrier bearing and slip section with a CV setup and going from there..... he said it'd run anywhere from $1000 - $1200.... pretty pricey but if you want it done right, thats how you'll more than likely have to do it.

-sure the CCSSB shaft will -BOLT UP- but it wont work properly... too much center rotational mass there... see my post a little farther up to see why....

Jesse always wants to add a CV to everything, regardless of the angle it operates at. On Geoff's shaft in an 4wd ECSB with 6"s of lift he did a 2 peice shaft with 2 CV's, it was ridiculous, 5 u-joints in one driveline. Ive got 2 more inches of lift than he does, a 2 piece shaft and no CV's and no vibes underway.

Im still against the 1 peice shaft, your'e past the 60" mark. The material isn't rigid enough to keep it from bowing and affecting balance. Thats hard on pinion bearings, seals and transmission output bearings.

the statement "72 inches is too long for a one piece drive shaft" is TOTAL BULLSHIT, maybe for a stock grade shaft yes, but my boss runs over 80 inches of one piece carbon fiber driveshaft on his 485ci 800+ HP mopar pulling truck and it has never once flexed, bowed or vibrated (a vibration that you can feel over the motor anyway )
