Hey there, I just got done driving the Flint Trail in canyonlands and had my front drive shaft splines pop out of the slip yoke while making a sharp switchback in 4lo. My truck is a 94 Mazda B4000 with what I think is a 4" lift. I assume with the lift, the torque of 4lo and the sharp turn all play into why it happened. I guess my question is how do I fix the problem? Would a longer front driveshaft work to fix the problem and if so, any ideas on how much longer I would need to go? Thanks!!

If it's that close, limiting straps up front? Or see if you and room to push the engine/transmission forward? I know the transmission mount is slotted fore/aft. I think the engine mounts are slotted left/right tho.
