Sye questions

[skidoo_j]

With our transfer cases having the long snout why does everyone hack the shaft, that means some sort of new housing right? I was wondering why you couldn't tap the shaft at the length it is now, and just get a new yoke that either uses straps or u-bolts.

 

I was debating on doing this then getting a drive shaft that slips in the shaft, but not jump to the double cardon. The main thing i'd gain is if my u-joint broke, or the shaft broke I could drive with out it. also I wouldn't have to shim the rear axle.

 

I guess a follow up question is if i located a rear driveline that has the slip in the shaft that's a single cardon, can that same shaft be used by just adding a double cardon at the end? I'm not sure because I think part of the "centering ball" in the Double cardon is part of the yoke of the drive shaft.
