It is not the drive shaft length that is the problem. It is the angle that the ujoints are at. I have a 1" longer stock shaft (went from 30.5" to 31.5" out of an auto with a D35) and a YJ or TJ slip yoke (cant remember) that is 1" longer as well. I dont have any vibes. But i never did before either. I am at 6.5" lift too. The only reason I did what i did was i twisted my last driveshaft and i wanted to regain some of my output shaft
