also does anyone here run a custom driveshaft?
pros/cons?

thanks
I've had the stock joints replaced with greasable ones. I think it was under $200. They cut off the stock joints and welded in new standard yokes then balanced the whole thing.

If you are looking for weight savings and have the extra money, go for it, otherwise try to get yours rebuilt. It will be cheaper.
