drive shaft stay 2 piece or go long?

after fixing the fuel issue i had, now to the vibration issue (isn't tire related) so i crawled under the truck. play in drive shaft where the center is i know where to get the center for cheaper then the parts store list.

but being this is a part that will wear out again. any neg's towards the 1 piece? and where to buy ready to install shafts (might be cheaper to order than drive all the way to charlotte nc)

are you talking about these differences or something different? if so I would get rid of the one with the center support bearing and go with the "single piece" if you plan on lifting the truck or already have done so. Otherwise just replace the support bearing if it's cheaper than buying the "single piece" unit.

it'll run me 300+ half shipping to get one made from a shop in Cali, im checking around some of the closer shops and it's right at around 300 as well. the center part is cheap like 50 bucks (not at a parts store like az or advance) i just don't want to have to keep replacing it .

1 Piece for sure.

It will decrease driveline angles on both ends (well the T case end will increase, but not by too much). U joints will last longer. You won't have to deal with a CSB....
