No not bad at all! Thats where Travis got his done. I got the hookup through work with another place the first time around and it was more and a pain to deal with. I really suggest azdshaft!

Yep. He set up the gears in it too, you know, that 3rd member that had to be thrown out?! Needless to say, I wouldn't recommend them for any diff work. I've read a lot of good things about their driveshaft work though.

Take 2 Advil and call your Dr. ASAP! That can't be good.

Seriously though, they'll redo it right? Figure they spin balance it before the let it go out the door..no?

Yea I don't really care much eather. But it would have been nice if the new shaft fixed it. I put it in yesterday and it still vibrates a lil at 40mph so its just the truck, guess I can't hold it against phx rack and axle at all.
