Esp the rear one - that is my major concern.
Us big trucks have to worry about 2 driveshafts...

Grand slam meal, HA HA!
The driveshaft I got was almost identical in weight to the factory unit, but it is thicker, stronger, and balanced for like 8000rpms, which is like 170mph for our trucks to run that high. My vehicle smoothed out, compared to stock, and at 100 and above mph, my truck is much smoother!

Huh. This is scary stuff.
I have a rather nasty driveshaft vibe at super-legal speeds. (definitely not the wheels)
Think it's worthwhile to pull the driveshaft and have it re-balanced, or just go for something that's built to handle this stuff?
I have the large diameter (coffee can) aluminum driveshaft, for what it's worth.
