I am curious about the smoother driving. I also have a slight vibration when driving on the freeway. I thought maybe it was my Nitto's/tires. But have wondered about the 2 piece drive shaft.

How can you check to see if a DS is vibrating or out of balance?

Won't a single piece drive shaft also reduce the strain on the engine/tranny with the weight loss?

mine was unbearable at 75+ on the freeway with the 4.10's. aluminum driveshaft took care of all my driveline vibrations. (if u've got an auto u can buy the v6 shaft and save $50.00, same diameter and u joints just less splines and a smaller yoke which u are gonna change anyway with an auto)

i don't think drunken purchases qualifies as saving money either.
Don't get all defensive. Not sure what drunken purchases have to do with anything?

All the cool kids buy parts that are completely useless like a King Cobra Clutch and Steeda Cable Adjuster/Quadrant
