Seriously! I'll get a shot later tonight that shows just how tight, me thinks I'll be getting 15mm spacers, or maybe 20 to push the wheel out to where the wider part of the barrel is, would make me feel better.

Finally got the driveshaft in! The rear ujoint carrier was too large and ultimately spaced the differential away from the cradle, it fits! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I see that, I think its interesting how they use fasteners to balance with washers. it was custom made?

Same here but I guess it works? Yes it was a custom shaft.

I bet it works fine. aluminum seems like a better performance choice for driveshaft, id guess something like half the weight of a steel version maybe 50-75% the weight of a steel one?

oh it's certainly lighter than the steel version, I was able to hold it up and bolt it into place by myself (only just) and it's rated for 700 HP so that should be good for a while hopefully!

It's a doggone ripper! maxed out stock fuel injectors at 300 wheel, it's super fun! Waiting on a replacement LSD to get back up and driving, took some time to replace axles and rear wheel bearings "while I'm here".
