U-joints are only made to run a certain angles and the dual cardon joint doubles that angle basically that's why we run them.

If you're going to spend the money on it skip the front shaft because they use a pretty thin wall tube and most driveline shops will build you a shaft for around $150-200 and it will be balanced and true. It will cost anywhere from $50-100 to have a front shortened, plus new u-joints and whatever it cost to begin with. You end up paying almost as much to rebuild an old one as to buy new.

With a 4.5" you could almost get away with a TC drop temporarily until you ca afford to get the SYE as well as a new rear shaft... That is going to be my plan, for as short a time as possible anyways...
