Default Driveshaft specialist?

Well i just ordered a 4" .125" wall aluminium driveshaft from driveshaft specialist. Guess it was all pretty much the best of the best stuff for it, splicer u-joints and stuff. Just wondering if anyone else had expierence with these people. I called and talked to Brent there and he seemed like a pretty cool guy. Just got tired of having driveshaft vibrations and throwing them, 4.56s and 140+ mph on a 29" tire just dont work out to great for stock driveshafts. He said i could run this one up to as fast as the truck will go and launch as hard as i want and not have to worry about a thing.

What is the length of your driveshaft Ky? I have taken my stocker to 150+ many of times however am always nervous as hell when it gets that high. Would love some piece of mind (and also a loop or two).

From my swap thread:

DS is 67" CL to CL of U-joint. Anybody thinking of using this measurement be mindful that this is a 1350 u-jointed shaft with a Spicer 1350 rear yoke and will not apply to a factory u-jointed unit. The truck also has approximately a 4 in drop in the rear. Use at your own risk!

Holly **** thats a long drive shaft, mines 10 inches shorter than that. It is a very nice piece though cant wait to get mine in, if it holds up it will be well worth the money and then some.
