I was told by more than one shop that it would viberate to much and they wouldn't even do it seems there is a length limet on one pc. drive shafts. You may want to check this out.

Well with a a one piece drive shaft there are those that say its they only way to go and those who say don't do it. It is a BIGGER diameter drive shaft than stock dia.,Also with the (stock)two piece I would have to add a crap load of spacers to the motor ,trans,and center bearing .Plus one day I do want to bag it,and go lower.I don't know how the bags will affect a occasional tow vehicle though?

The more I think about it I do think it is the rear shocks.I drove it today and purposely tried to brake hard .On a smooth street it was not bad at all ,but on a street with high and low spots the front tires broke loose easily.I think the rear shocks are limiting the unloading of weight in the rear of the vehicle.I am going to ditch the stock shocks ,and try some aftermarket shocks.The correct length.
