1 or 2 piece driveshaft
 

Posting in here to get input from all brand camps. My driveline flew apart while I was driving down the road and I need a new one. My best guess is the carrier bearing somehow failed and caused the whole thing to just start whipping around.
I can get another 2 piece from the junkyard from around $100-150 just like the one I had

or

I can get a Tom Woods 1 piece made for $350. Keep in mind I don't really have the money for this option and I'd have to come up with it, but I'm wondering if anyone has experience with going from 2 to one piece or an opinion on the matter. My angle is pretty harsh which is why I haven't gone to a 1 piece yet, and I'm not sure if I'm better off staying with a 2 piece or going to a one piece with harsher angles.
If I get the one piece I'm going to tilt the motor/trans back a bit and probably shackle flip the rear to help out a bit, but in the end its still a pretty good angle.

my best results ive found with these is a one piece thick driveline. get the rear axle assembly at the exact same degree as the driveline, than convert the front to a cv. also takes out the vibration. but most shops wont make a one piece driveline anywhere over 70" or so

thats what i figured but the shop i use who gets a discount with tom woods said I could get one. its gonna be right around 79"

Have you measured or had your shop measure your truck for a one piece? They should know if it'll work or not...

Don't know what you are driving, but perhaps a step up to 1410 yokes and joints would help?

i haven't measured it exactly yet, because if i decide to go with the 1 piece I'm going to do the shackle flip to bring up the pinion angle and drop the ass of the trans about an inch.

It'll be between 74 and 78 inches if I do the changes.

i went through that same process as you with the 12 valve cummins in the chevy. mine is an extended cab long bed i went with a 2 piece stock chevy and shortened the shorter side by 2.5" inches and it fit right in with new u joints. i also have a shackle flip on my truck as well
