The truck does need the suspension sitting @ ride height for calculations. It can be up in the air on some cribbing or similar but the suspension needs to under compression.

1pc vs. 2pc. driveshaft is dependent on multiple factors:
*Overall length (critical speed calculation)
*Set-up complexity
*Shaft OD

The 2pc can help w/angles but will require more thought/consideration when you're getting aggressively low.
