Glad to hear you got it figured out. Just remember, if you go to do some extreme flex, it could rip that shaft apart if it runs out of slip.

good too know the front shaft does work in rear as ive been hearing a lot of conflicting reports lately, however i dont plan on doing my SYE till i get my 8.8 in at which point if the shaft is stretched out pretty far ill just get a spacer, that way i dont tear the shaft apart but ill see when i get there cause i notice your only running bout 3" or so of lift and a lot of guys say the front shaft is good up to 5"......just crawl my *** under a few heeps at the wrecker and get my own measurements when my heep is ready.

I have 3 inch lift springs and shackles that are 2.5" longer in the rear, so i may be pushing more then 5, my springs sits completly flat. I plan on getting a shackle relocation kit and 1.5" shackles tho. And the shaft is only long enough for town driving on my application, it would rip out if I flexed.. So dont think its a permanent shaft its just better then walking in my current situation =-P
