Question Non SYE driveshaft question

Does anyone have any experience with Oliver's CV DRIVESHAFT NON-SYE? It looks like a cool idea and cheaper than a full SYE. Not sure about the cons though. Any help is much appreciated.

Doing that makes a short shaft.

Part of the benni of the sye is the longer shaft paired with the cv

No experience, but that is an acceptable design and has been done before. Having said that, the real issue with the 96 and up is that the slip yoke gets too far out on the tail shaft and wobbles because of that. I have personally run a stock drive shaft on 6 inches of lift, but the slip yoke was on the shaft sufficiently to prevent wobble. So the question in my mind on this is if the slip yoke will be on the shaft sufficiently to keep from rattling. Sometimes a little grease can cure this enough to get rid of vibes. But if all this is worked out, it would work

I agree I made a resr shaft longer to get back in the splines. Im 4-5" of lift without a sye I might have some vibes at 75-80 but I rarely go there so I havent yet done a sye.

Thank you all for the insight. I'm still rocking a stock one now but just looking at options for the future if need be.
