Aluminum Driveshaft -Safe/secure enough during shipping?
Hi fellas,
I think the next few mods I'm gonna have completed is duals with GT's & Xpipe, 8.8 rear w/lsd & 3.73's, and an Aluminum Driveshaft.
My concern is with the shipping method. I have read how sensitive the AD's are to the slightest drop or ding, and the last thing I would want is a slightly imbalanced DS! How secure are the AD's packed within the box? Those employees at the delivery sites can be quite rough with packaging, and obviously that is my utmost concern.
What do you think guys, any bad experiences with shipment of the AD's?
Also, which brand would you recommend, and which diameter measurement of DS would be best? (Gonna do some searching as well, so this question is secondary)
Thanks for the help fellas.

Get a Shaftmasters 3 1/2 inch or 4 inch shaft, either one is great. No problems with shipping, trust me. Jack

Shaftmasters! Best price($386.00)and it comes in a heavy duty tube. NO shipping problems. 4 inch is OK if your car isn't lowered. 3.5 if it is but more expensive. Tell them you are a member. Make sure you have the right flange on the 8.8,V-6 shaft won't fit otherwise.

Awesome, thanks guys! Shaftmasters it shall be then, probably be purchasing it within the month. Good to hear it comes in a protective tube. I'm gonna do some searching on the differences/benefits between the 3.5" & 4"
If I do get that done before I get the 8.8 rear, I'll buy the adapter at the time that I install the new rear.
