'83 square driveshaft?
I've done an extensive search on lengthening my front driveshaft using square stock. All the threads mention that you shouldn't turn a stock '83 or older driveshaft into a square driveshaft. I haven't read any specific reason why. Can anyone enlighten me?

Square front driveshafts bring the suck IMO. Cost so little to do one right and be done with it. Got a buddy who built a front square one and he hates it. Makes all kind of racket and just doesn't work well.
Do it right, not for spite.

i don't see any reason why you can't. we all have selectable hubs so it won't be spinning when it isn't engaged, so it won't cause any problems.
a lot of full sized jeep guys use square shafts without problems. one even did a rear square shaft and has driven up to freeway speeds without any major vibration problems.
