Replacing Driveshaft with one piece

Has anyone replaced a driveshaft with carrier bearing with a 1 piece?

Have heard of it done on some 2nd gens.

 

I was going to do it on my 2nd gen due to drive line vibs.....but then I sold it

Look into Tom Woods. They make good stuff

 

Have not done, but Tom Wood is an extremely reputable driveshaft shop. He is very well known as a stand up guy in the offroad world, especially with Jeeps. If you do decide to go with a one-piece shaft, then this would be the person/shop to get it from.

 

Don't know why anyone would want too, other than just for the sake of changing something.

 

I almost did it on my second gen. My local drive shop said they’d have to make a custom one piece aluminum shaft since a single shaft would be too heavy.

I ended up just replacing my carrier bearing, doing the CB drop kit, and adding a spacer to it. No vibes!

I considered a 1-piece double cardan with my 2nd gen...
I didn't like the idea of pointing the pinion up and potentially starving it of lube; or having to overfill the differential. Plus it was a dclb...the length was going to make dimensions too large for my comfort.
When the joints go out in this one, I'll probably go with a 2-piece double cardan.
