    Good Morning AZ peeps,

    I am swapping my '03 DC from auto to manual trans. I need to get my rear drive shaft shortened 12" to work with the new setup.

    Anyone have a good driveline shop they would recommend? Mostly concerned with the quality of work over a great price. I do all my own wrenching usually so have zero experience with shops in the valley.

    Thanks for any suggestions, hoping to not just pick one out of the phone book!

    https://www.driveshaftshop.com is the only place I trust. I have had 2 drive shafts by them and a custom axle shaft, never had an issue.

    Phoenix rack and axle will come up. I'd pass honestly. I know 3 people who had their drive shafts break. Very scary! I've also had a couple of their racks get sloppy on my 4runner (on its 3rd one from them). They do swap it out no charge if you have the receipt, but still.

    I have used them on multiple occasions to re-tube my driveshaft. They work on anything from daily cruisers to street cars to full tube chassis race trucks.

    Dropped the driveshaft off to them this morning. Really good folks over there. Said it will be done by Monday, which is crazy... cannot even make it back over to pick it up till next Friday lol.

    Thanks again for the awesome suggestion

    Glad it worked out! They are usually a day, 2 at the most, turn around for me when they do a re-tube
