Then there is the heavy duty driveshaft which has larger diameter tube driveshafts and the much better carrier bearing that mounts on a bracket on the bottom of the trailing arm crossmember. IMO it is the light duty driveshaft and carrier bearing that is responsible for so many truck owners hating the 2 piece driveshaft and wanting to go to a one piece.

Sorry for the hijack B_Bob

No worries. All good info is welcome here. I'll keep the lite vs heavy driveshaft in mind when assembling.

On a related note, if I go with a SWB and I'm using a T5 w/ s10 tail, can I use a 1 piece driveshaft? I will be lowering about 4 to 5 inches out back as well.
