Bagged/slammed long bed guys

Are you guys using a one-piece or two-piece drive shaft? I'm trying to decide whether to raise my carrier bearing or just get rid of it altogether.

Re: Bagged/slammed long bed guys

I built a could of slammed long beds. 1 for me, and another with a friend.

2 piece shafts according to my preferred shop JE Reel are better for long beds. They get less harmonics in them thus they are thinner then the 7" shaft on my 2018 Silverado.

So I would use your 2 piece, and modify accordingly. If I keep my 2018 Silverado it will get a 2 piece if I keep it past next year.
