Default driveshaft shop in DFW?

I am looking for names and numbers of GOOD drive shaft shops in DFW. I need one that does high speed balancing! not normal truck/heavy duty driveline shops. I have been pulling my hair out over my vibration at 90-115. only option left is driveshaft, seeing that I had a heavy duty truck shop balance it with new spicer u-joints in it. any help would be appreciated.

i talked to driveshaft specialist out of san antonio, and they said the place i had mine done more than likely bent an ear on the u joint flange putting them in, cause there were hammer marks on my drive shaft when i got it back from them.

They dont do high speed balancing (well thats what they told me anyhow) they just do standard driveshafts, and if they find out what your doing with it warranty is voided. I found out the hard way..

high speed goes to 6000rpm, or equivalent of 200mph. you have to go to a performance driveline shop. all the ones around here are truck driveline shops. so far anyways.
