You can have a shaft built for $300-400 and it's worth the money for piece of mind. I have a NA 5.3(nitrous currently disconnected) and I swapped to a built 4l80. I do have other plans in the future, but I have zero trans worries and I like the split from 1st to 2nd gear so much better. No more lugging after the shift. My mpg have stayed within 1-2 mpg difference. I will never own another 60e in a truck again for the shift alone. Also I drove for 2 years with all torque management removed,3200 stall, factory external trans cooler,bolt ons and 100 shot. Thought I broke my 60e, found out it was a mouse under the engine fuse box eating wires.
Wolf,
I'd need to find out what grade aluminum it is to make sure it holds up.
I think I might e-mail the shop who did my rear end and see what they recommend.

Hahaha, I'm going to do the swap before my 60 goes.
Even though its been acting the same way for over 2 years. Doesn't seem likes its on its way out, haha. I would like to swap it in also before I drop the new motor in.
I need to find someone with a NNBS Tahoe who did an 80E swap and get some driveshaft info from them. Mostly length info.
