That driveshaft is interesting. I hope it works out for you but with your lift(about 4" if I recall correctly) I'm not sure the geometry will jive. I thought the D1 front geometry from the factory could almost accommodate a Double Cardan shaft but for $ reasons they went with some out of phase set up. Lifting a D1 3"+ almost always necessitates a DC shaft, since the pinion ends up pointing at the TC and the TC output is at zero.

Had the windows tinted today, after removing the old tint. Looks much nicer now.
