Default Prop shaft replacement

Just received my prop shaft from GBR and was going to still it here in a few minutes. Just a quick question about alignment. In the rave it says that it needs to be marked if it's going to be retrofitted. When I install the new shaft is there any alignment to be done. I was assured by GBR that the shaft had been balanced and was assuming it was a straight swap.

Any help would be appreciated.

Just install it. Take note that the bolts on the transfer case side are not evenly spaced.

Done and done. Man, huge weight of my shoulders knowing that's done.

I just received my Tom Woods front prop shaft... should I re-use the same bolts if they come off in good shape?

Any other tips or things to do for this procedure?

use the same bolts but use new nylock nuts, those nylock nuts have a one time use.
once you thread something thru the nylon on the end of the nut it no longer works as a lock.
