take the driveshaft out before you tear up the output shaft and then put the truck on jackstands, air out the rear suspension and measure from the mouting surface on the rearend for the ujoints to the back of the transmission if it is a 1 piece driveshaft. take the shaft and the measurement to a driveline shop and have them shorten and rebalance it.

like they said. you shouldnt have to shorten that. you got a pinion agle/4link set up issue. my 720 is bagged & bodied and when it lays out you can't even see any movement in the carrier bearing.

axel is centered in notch , also is centered in wheel well opening , two piece drive line .seems to be slightly too long BUT that would mean both parts of the drive line would have to be shortened the same.i think i need two inches removed total (rough guess) W T F ?????.**note i did not set up rear end / four link** again W T F ?????
