Actually it's been balanced twice (the entire assembly including carrier support). 1st time was when I had a 2004R. It didn't need a change in length but I had it completely rebuilt, new carrier bearing, U joints and balanced. 2nd time shortened and balanced (the entire assembly again) The shop has a high speed balancer setup and said it was good.

I ran it supported on jack stands without wheels, tires and brake drums. The vibration is still there. BTW: at 45 driveshaft speed is about 2K max. At 70 nice and smooth.
