Default Driveshaft???

ok i kno theres been problems with the shafts especially on CC trucks.. so what are you guys doing? id like to keep a 1 piece due to the fact i dont wana drop 6 or 700 on a 2 piece and having it mounted... what would be strong to withstand 120mph, thats as fast as i really want to go in my truck, im already askn for it at that speed but after that to me something is just ready to pop! i have all mods in sig.. plus should be close to 500hp if not over at the motor i would think when its all said and done.. so a stronger shaft for launching couldnt hurt! let me kno if theres any site that sells shafts ready to go or whats up thanks

This is what I did, I know it's not a one piece, but it's effective, took it up to 130+ today.

man thats a really good idea i just really dont wana do the 2 shafts.. ive tried finding some aftermarkets online but nobody really wants to do one... ive got 2 or 3 places here in town that ill do it just gota take it to them.. i have to go aluminum bc of the length of the shaft. so what size would you go with? i kno there 5" factory but thin as all get out... would a 3" aftermarket be plenty? or may 4"?
