divorced or married?

Depends on your use. If the truck has a lot of lift, you may want to use a divorced setup. If done right, you can run identicle driveshafts front and rea, and only need one spare. However, you also have one or two extra universals to break, plus a little stubby driveshaft. Fewer parts make a married setup better, but you have uneven lenght driveshafts. Ultimately, it's up to what you have on hand.
