@PSU Taco85 I had one like that from Tom Woods. Worked great till I regeared. I think it's simply too long with the 4.56 gears.
I have a local shop welding in a 1310 double cardan joint behind my OEM carrier bearing just like the one I posted on the last page. I specifically asked my guy if he had to use a smaller diameter shaft or spine segment to make it work and he said no, he wouldn't need to change any of those things. It should be noted that he's modifying the OEM shaft and not starting from scratch (which is what I really wanted) so I SHOULD end up with a full strength shaft with a 1310 double cardan joint. It should be done tomorrow or Friday. Waiting on pins and needles here. Stay tuned.

And to think. This all started with gaining a little more clearance with taller tires. $5k later for a regear and dual lockers and now more money for a driveshaft. The rabbit hole has got real deep.
Thank you for reminding me why I am staying with my stock tire size.

You guys have any angled axle shims?Same, TW and 4.56s
I had a new shaft made (two piece, double cardan behind the CB) and I think it might be a winner. Little vibrations on the highway around 50mph but I believe a CB spacer will fix that. It's only in an isolated speed range. Take off vibes are gone. I'm out of town for the week (work training) so I can't mess with it till I get home.@italynstylion any update?

Roughly $520 I believe. Just a little more than the Tom Woods drive shaft (which I returned) so it will come out about even for me if this works.So.. $64 question... how much was the new shaft?
