Driveshaft Removal

2015 Supercab Longbed - I'll be removing my driveshaft and taking it to a local driveshaft shop to have the ujoints replaced, center bearing replaced, and everything balanced. Do I need to mark the yoke/flanges before I take them off so I can put them back in the same orientation? Or does that not matter since it's going to be balanced?

You should be fine, the rebalancing will take care of all that. It is nice though to have all your zerk fittings pointing the same direction when it comes time to grease everything.

I would still mark them and put them back on at the same index point.

I mean, why wouldn't you?
