I have a carbon fiber DSS 1 piece and I am very happy with it. Smooth, strong. Excellent quality. No complaints.

I have the aluminum DSS. Great work and easy to install. It spins very smooth and feels more connected to the rear.

G-force 3.5" aluminum driveshaft here. Went with them since I hadn't heard of any problems. Hell, you can never find a used one for sale. Nice and light w/ no CV joint.
Tight fit with Hendrix offset bushings in the diff. Had to relocate a e-brake mount and ditch the heat shield. |

Either one is good. I also went Gforce because of no CV joint and lighter overall weight.

You have to remove the center heatshield. At least that is all I did. I left the rear heatshield in place. No problems, scraps, or noises.

Installed one today rant I got from another forum member, I cleaned all the threads and bolts with mineral spirits and brake cleaner and re-loctited everything and install was pretty straight forward. Torquing was a issue since I didn't have a 3/8" drive torque wrench just a 1/2" drive.
