    I bet half the vibrations people complain about are poorly balanced drive shafts. A one piece drive shaft is probably better. I know its better on my Mustang.

    thats a bit left field, these trucks mainly vibrate from 3 inch lifts.. all the angles get thrown off. fantastic assumption though

    The one who dies with the most stuff wins.
    The only time I really see driveline vibe issues are after installing a lift. I would be surprised if some or even any driveshafts come from the factory out of balance on a stock truck that isn’t wheeled.

    My uncle's 16 Tacoma had a bad vibration and it was the drive shaft. He bought it used and the dealer was no help. $400 later it's smooth as can be.
