Rear Driveshaft 2 Piece Shaft V.S. 1 Piece Shaft

[JEERKJt]

Has anyone had any issues running a single piece driveshaft on their Gladiator as far as clearance or what have you. I am running MC 3.5 Game changer on mine and am looking to order a replacement for my rear driveshaft however was quoted roughly $1,600 for a 1350 two piece driveshaft and frankly that is a bit steep in my option. I am weighting my options and leaning towards a single piece from Toms or Adams driveshafts, however before pulling the trigger want to see if anyone has had any issues or comments on running a single piece.

Two piece rear is always more expensive but IMO, a superior design on a longer wheelbase like the JT. Much less prone to vibrations and getting hit on things and assuming you drop the carrier bearing appropriately, the angle isn't really an issue like it can be on shorter wheelbases. But, as you see, you will pay for it because it's a more complex and therefore more expensive design to manufacture.

I already have a 1350 front ready to go in and when I do my rear down the road, I'll definitely be sticking with the 2-piece.
