One hug advantage is 33 splinr axles vs 30spline

Weight is around 90lbs heavier loaded vs loaded as center section is wherr all weight is

Does anyone know if the a new driveshaft is required length wise? I think the ujoints are different but just curious if they are roughly in the same spot.

14 bolts are tanks compared to 10 bolts. I swapped one in my truck for peace of mind. I would be pissed if my 10 bolt grenaded and took out my expensive *** transmission.
