use just a u joint on each end. you will not be running in 4 wheel drive over 30 I hope. I wish that I had with my wifes and may redo it.
when I unbolt the drive shaft it binds up about 6 inchs below the diff. I would like more movement then that.
I also ran three lines of braze down each side.. not rattleing yet!
had to grind the brass a bit so it would slid in nice and tight.
line this part up square for phasing. This is a short piece of the inner to line up the larger outer. just weld the inside.
oh and the sliding end of the outer shaft. don't leave a sharp edge. grind it out to a pretty good ramp. so when you drop it onto a rock it won't bind up.
