Double cardin slip yoke
There is a driveshaft company on eBay selling a double cardin slip yoke drive shaft made to order. Any thoughts ???

Not a terrible idea, i'd think they are stronger than using a stock front DS as a rear. Just make sure their using HD joints. Personally, drive train parts I'd stick with Tatton or Tom Woods. They are proven & even they can fail.

OP, if it has a great warranty, try it. Be the test subject & report back on its performance.

Tatton is on ebay, and that's where I ordered my double cardan shaft that has the slip yoke still. It is not perfect but I've driven it for 15,000 miles or so and haven't had a hiccup.

Why do you believe it isn't perfect?.............Just curious. I'm thinking about buying one. There are a lot of smart and knowledgeable people on here and I appreciate their input.

I ordered one off of eBay a custom for my XJ after I installed an SYE and upped the lift to 4 1/2" from Dave's Custom Driveshaft's cost was $199 with the big joints. Haven't had any issues with it now after 2 yrs.

My Tatton hasn't failed on me, just sayin' everything has the potential to fail. I'd recommend Tatton to anyone that's looking for DS. I'm a satisfied customer.....

I blew up the axle side u joint but that was my fault, I didn't adjust my rear drive angles. Replaced it, put in 4 degree shims, and it has been fine ever since. Highly recommended for the baller on a budget.
