Driveshaft recommendations....
Looking to have a new shaft built for my 4WD to 2WD conversion. The shop I spoke with yesterday was not keen on building a 59" (between yoke centers) steel shaft and wants to do a 4" 1350 aluminum shaft. Looking at Denny's site they don't recommend aluminum for anything over 56" or anything hooking serious power to the ground. I plan to run slicks. I want a shaft that will handle up to 1400 FWHP/TQ and 7000 RPM in a 6000lb truck. What are my options?

i agree with atomic. driveshaft specialists with thier 5" alum .120 wall. i was told no problem at 72" and 6200 rpm. at 59" you should be good to 7k and they have these things behind modded diesels so it should handle power wise. hit them up, of all the places i talked to they were friendliest to deal with also

This is what they say re aluminum:
"The heavyweight race cars and trucks can be very abusive on a hard launch so using aluminum may not be the best choice. Please note we DO NOT offer our "twist it or break it" replacement with any aluminum driveshafts. We only offer this with our steel driveshafts."
