Front Driveshaft ?
After lifting my truck 6" my front driveshaft has too much of an angle at the transfer case and has a bind in the rotation. I can go 20-25 mph safely but can still hear the bind in 4WD. It can be spun by hand, but above 25 it gets loud enough im scared its going to break. I know a driveshaft from a F-350 Auto will fit and work, but what are my other options? Is it possible to just replace the joint at the t-case with a different one, such as the double cardigon joint the F-350 has?

to swap the 350 joint in you have to cut it out and reweld it and have it balanced. that is the route i am most likely going to take. new shafts can be found on ebay for abotu 300 bucks. and dont forget about the 350 t-case mount

Is it possible to just buy a 350 joint and t-case mount, take my driveshaft out, and take it in to a shop that works on em? Or would I be better off just going to a shop and letting them do what they think is necessary?

I found a local shop that my dad has done plenty of business with in the past that does work on driveshafts. I think I'll take it down there and have them go to work on it. Thanks for the help
