Alright i need some advice. I have a 93 Supercab 4wd with the two piece driveshaft in the rear and it's lifted a little so i'm gettin a nasty vibration when i start from a stop. I'm thinkin it's the driveshaft so i went and picked up a one-piece from the junkyard.

Heres my problem, my flowmaster muffler is in the way now because the one-piece driveshaft is thicker than my stock one. What should i do? I can either move the exhaust (difficult and probly expensive) or i can have a custom driveshaft made thinner (very expensive). Any other ideas? like maybe a different one-piece that will fit that's skinnier?

if youve got the aluminum shaft, theres a steel one you should be using thats a smaller diameter. other than that, i would move the exhaust. the longer the drive shaft is, the bigger diameter it has to be to keep from deflecting
