    What is your driveline angle and do you really need a new shaft? Just rotating the axle a few degrees can reduce binding and may even improve the amount of play at the slip.

    you better off getting your drive shaft length than putting a spacer.

    The axle is rotated 5 degrees...I need something because the drive shaft is separating pretty good...I'd say about an inch

    Do they make them long enough to eliminate the spacer?

    If it were me, I'd stay as far away from a Tom Woods driveshaft as humanly possible.

    Might have been a one out of a thousand experience, but going with a local shop that knows the vehicle and will stand behind their work has been a far better choice for me. Not to mention about a third of the price.
