Lugboot, you wouldn't mind me asking what IPOR did exactly to modify the Taco shaft for duty on the front end of the 80? According to Bear80's thread the Tacoma shaft is an exact match on both t-case and axle flanges. I also have the Tacoma rear driveshaft with the double cardan but the center section is a little bit loose. Thanks.
Curious as to why you need a DC shaft in the first place, but I guess I'm a bit late. I have standard shafts on mine, OME J springs and Rick's castor correction bushings. No real vibes to speak of, but I did replace the uni joints on the rear with new OEM.
It was a process of elimination, really. I guess my truck's a . I replaced all the U-joints, on both the front and rear driveshafts, with OEM and that didn't fix it. I took the front shaft off for awhile and it was butter smooth. So, the next thought was to try a front DC shaft. I have a pretty light setup on the Heavies right now, so don't know if that affects it or not. I'm running Rick's caster plates, too, and pretty much set the truck up for a DC shaft because of the caster readings involved.
