    Didn't get around to calling Oliver's today, but will. How did the shipping process work for them? God knows I don't want to pay to ship that heavy fucker USPS or whatever...

    We used UPS and it cost about $45 to ship both shafts to me. I wanted them ASAP so I didn't really care about the shipping cost.

    Maybe. Truck gets shitty enough mileage as it is, and really the driveshaft is the only thing under there that I can hurt.

    I'd like to go to a smaller OD, but I'm not really sure heavier tube is necessary.

    Trac bar is on the right of the shaft. Rock came from the left.

    As for not liking decreased OD, I think if it's thicker wall and damn well balanced it'd be fine.

    I'd think .120 wall would be sufficient.

    It's a function of critical speed. Larger diameter, thinner shafts typically have higher critical speed limits. But you can alter that through choice of material and get to a thinner shaft.

    I'll talk with them boys at Oliver's and see what they can do for me.
