Re: Longbed driveshafts

You make some good points about the safety aspect of a hd 2-piece. I hadn't thought about the front shaft wacking the back of the cab in the event of breakage in that area. I did install another d.s. loop just behind the trailing arm crossmember for the front of the rear shaft, but that would only contain the front of that shaft in the event of a failure. A 1-piece would definitely eliminate those particular issues. Along with the added bonus of less weight.
