Buy big driveshafts from a junkyard and retube them. Cut down on new driveshaft parts as much as you can.
The issue is with reverse shackles and my flex a "stock" driveshaft slip joint is too short. The longest available is used in Ford Pickups and offers 6" to 7"'s of slip, I need around 10" of slip. Additionally finding F250 cardon joints for front 4x4's is pretty hard.
the only reason that i would gernade 1350 daily on trips was because I was running them at extreme angles, judging by you above angle limits i would guess i was in the 15-20 degree range, that and lots of axle wrap. On the other hand I have broken a 1350 cv but that was because I was being stupid and full throttled a 3.5 - 4 foot ledge. All in all if I were to do it agian I would figure out how to run a 1410 at all ends and not cv's, which may be in my future
I run Woody's. they seem to have better track record and customer service for about the same $
I'm also running 1350 with minimal slip. My link setup doesn't move much.
It moved quite a bit at TCC last year ;)

I'd either do what Sparling said or just call Jesse and order what you need. I bought mine from Jesse and I've never touched my front one. Ever.
However, Scott identified my rear as matching a F250 front shaft, just shortened. I was blowing out the CVs (when I break a spring, the axle slides forward and jambs it up) and they were expensive. But now I'm able to fix them on the cheap. I picked up two for $175 from the junkyard and thanks to Doug I have a replacement and now have a spare.
I've bought a couple 1350 flanges and 1410 yoke from Jesse, had great service and got the parts quick.
I had my driveshafts built by Houston Drivetrain Service (North side of 610 and Wayside). Both are double cardon, 1410's at the axles and 1350 flanges at the Stak. I took my front shaft back to them and had a long slip (like 16"s if I recall) added in. Works great now.
Who is Jesse?
