What is the reason behind your needs? Did it break? Out of balance?

just has a major shutter when taking off and on teh highway. the yoke before it goes into the pumpkin is needing repair too. i just want something that is going to be able to hand the highway and not be uncomfortable.

figured the best way woudl be to replace either the rear one of the whole thing with a lift version

IMO your best bet is to find a local driveshaft shop. You can start by getting yours balanced. And replace joints if necesary. Then, they can also lengthen your existing shaft to make it fit your truck better with the lift. Sure you can buy one on the interwebz, but IMO the local shop will be able to modify/ balance yours and be cheaper then a new piece.

Might be better to find a local driveline shop to look at it. Otherwise you are looking at shipping and core costs...
