    Been reading more and more into the Tacobox, seems a 1" body lift makes things a lot easier with the install and overall body tub clearance. I am concerned about shortening and lengthening the driveshafts, some people have had issues finding someone that can do it. I haven't looked around yet for a shop though.

    You should not have any problem with the driveshafts. I would exspect there is a good shop somewhere around you. I use Fort Worth gear & axle for many years. http://www.fortworthgearandaxle.com/services/driveline_repair_and_manufacturing.cfm

    That's what I've been telling myself as well. I've seen a few custom driveshaft shops around town and the guys that were having the trouble seemed to be from more rural areas and I figured that was the problem. I need to creep on HomerTacos build a bit more to see how much he had to lengthen/shorten. I believe he has the same DCSB truck, can't imagine our numbers being far off at all.

    Lee, or as we now know him @bdgt_overland_atx just had his driveshaft rebuilt today at a shop in Austin. He may have deets for you.
