    Coast makes a quality product. I don't know if it'll rub on the tunnel though if you're lowered. Spydershaft's taper from 4" to 3.5" so they don't rub on the tunnel.

    Sorry it was the Drag Pak driveshaft and I think Stage3 and a couple of other places had it.

    I installed my coast shaft about a year and a half ago in my garage, and made about 200 1/4 mile passes with it. Haven't had one problem with it, the car feels smoother and I picked up about 2 tenths at the strip. Money well spent .

    As I understand it, we have two-piece driveshafts. Why? I thought only trucks with really long drive shafts needed two-piece to keep from whipping.

    Easy. The S197 and 2004+ F150 are notorious for being very touchy to vibrations. The two piece driveshaft helps cut down on vibrations. Tons of people do not have problems with an aluminum one piece driveshaft though.

    does anyone have this shaft and more than a 1.5 inch drop? I want to get this shaft but am afraid it'll rub.

    I'm liking the coast. I just hope my Roush suspension won't give me issues with it.
