The part that took the most calculation was figuring out the correct conversion joint to mate the new drive line to the old differential pinion flange. I figured I saved about $100.

this is what I plan to do as well

If you already have a drive shaft to start with it will be alot less money. The shop i used charged $130 to shorten the shaft. This is the second drive shaft I have had done. It does not appear to be an exact science, but close.
