Julien is right on the money, my D/S length is just north of 77inches with a 1 piece shaft, now the problem with that is that it's obviously to long for a steel shaft as it would buckle under it's own weight but an aluminum shaft of that length with a 4" diameter and a .125 wall thickness would work but the critical speed of the Driveshaft would be around 3k rpms, setting my top speed somewhere around 80mph before the driveshaft blew up. SOO when you put a carrier bearing in the middle you effectivley create 2 driveshafts of MUCH less length (around 36") which means that they can be made out of 3" .1?? wall tubing and have a critical speed near 7000rpms or 150mph lol
