Default Driveshaft help

I have a 6 inch lift and already replaced carrier bearing once. Any reputable driveshaft places. Should i stick with the 2 piece or go to one? Also i was looking at a place called driveshaft specialist of texas and they claim their best aluminum shaft can withstand more hp and torque than stock steel ones.Thanks

Don't know about the aluminum claim, but it's never a bad idea to take it to a good driveline shop with issues like that.

How much is the carrier dropped to accommodate that lift?

its not its stock setup.you can see about 1/4 inch of the splines where the shafts meet and i believe you arent supposed to see any.

That driveline shop will probably tell you you need new custom shafts and possibly a carrier drop adjustment after they take some measurements.
