Yep, you need to do it unless you want to notch your crossmember heavily.

Yep, the driveshaft should not separate due to the design of the dust seal on the spline, but be careful anyway (might be an aftermarket spline) that the shaft does not come apart at the spline.

just mark where it joins with something like liquid paper so if it does come apart you can reasemble it without having to get it rebalanced
