I know i need a new driveshaft when the Xcharger gets installed but i was wondering what one to get and where to get it from.. HELP !

I had the shaftmasters 4" on my 2006 with the Xcharger and it was a great product - also great service from them, and they are a Michigan company.

But more important than the driveshaft will be the rear end. If you are still running the 7.5" open differential --- you will have a tough time getting the power to the ground, and the 7.5 will be on borrowed time with the torque of the Xcharger coming on so low.

Do you plan to install the Xcharger yourself? Hit me up, depending on where you are in Michigan and when I might be able to help. Helped out on several installs already.

My rear end is being replaced with a 8.8 with 373 gears because of the power.

whats the difference between the 3.5 and the 4 shaft??

Installation isn't that difficult and can be done on a weekend for Xcharger - if you are talking about the rear end that isn't terribly difficult either, but much easier if you have a lift and help.

Easy - "about a half inch" LOL

The 3.5" is better with a lowered car because you don't run into any clearance issues - but the 4" I have been told is actually a stronger shaft. They might even be equal as far as weight, can't remember now. Even the 4" can be used on a lowered car though.
