Re: inland empire driveshaft

honestly the best bang for your buck is to get an aluminum 4th gen driveshaft unless your putting out some serious power. there are also aluminum 3rd gens too but theyre harder to come by

Re: inland empire driveshaft

I spent the $$'s and installed one in my ride. As far as the amount of $$ - to each their own. When compared to the stock steel drive shaft, there is, was, and will be no comparison whatsoever! Island Empire Drive Shafts Rules!

Just my 2¢'s worth.

Re: inland empire driveshaft

a 4th gen driveshaft will bolt right in, and its 3", i dont see it being much different that Inlands piece except Inland may have beefier yokes.
