i come in contact with ujoint driveshafts almost everyday
you can either get a double cardan or a single cardan driveshaft for your at or mt b2
lenghts vary i just sold a single cardan today. i'm currently going to get another one today around 12.
i have a double cardan chromed coated. it's pretty easy to do you just need a 12point socket or a 1/2 socket. snug fit.

I hate the CV driveshafts!!!!!
Long time no write, but I bought my U-Joint driveshaft at O'Reilly's (sp?) for appx. $200.00. Works like a champ, but the B2 is decommissioned right now. I am still looking for a solution to my fuel injection problems. Hope I helped.

there are 3 types of double cardan shafts and 2 types of single cardan shafts.
yoke to flange , yoke to yoke flange to flange.

My driveshaft is all weird, I put that lift kit on last night Monty, and my driveshaft stretches. Kind of like my shocks, how they spread apart.. well my driveshaft stretched to the length, is this normal?

you have a cv-boot type driveshaft. and you have a 4inch suspension lift
if so your shaft is streched to the limits if you run at high speeds you'll be looking for a new shaft real soon. the shaft can't handle the angle problem thus being your prob.

If you try to get a used shaft from the junkyard, it is often a more difficult swap, because then you will likely need the yoke and such from the junkyard t-case.

Well I doubt I'll be looking for a new one, because the guy that made it gave me a lifetime warranty on it, and he said that I can't break it. So if it does I get to take it back to him 
I doubt it's stretched to it's limits because it goes out even more. When we were putting the blocks on I noticed this so we set the axle on the ground with the truck lifted up pretty high, and it stretched back almost to the bumper. My uncle has been around cars and trucks for a long time, and he's never seen something like it, but he liked it a lot.
