That's the best plan. Most that have one piece shafts will upgrade to the two piece shafts if they are concerned about extreme hp levels, or reaching the driveline's critical speed.

I think more of these drivelines break because they reach critical speed, rather than hp levels.

all Ive done is swap to my 4L80E yoke, but thats only because I needed to for the trans swap... I've chunked the thing out of the truck three times over the years and just slapped new U joints back in and gone down the road. Thats back when I had bad pinion angle problems. since I resolved that, no problems. the shafts, center U joint, carrier bearing and support are all stock.
