Getting my driveshafts done next week to compensate for the spring swaps and dual cases.

Should i keep the two piece rear shaft or ditch it for a 1 piece unit?

The two piece keeps everything nice and high, but means i have another bearing to stuff up (not expensive though) but also means that my pinion angle is a little off.

you can use caster wedges to correct pinion angles in the back. stick with the 2 piece, that way you'll never catch it on rocks etc. if you're getting a shaft made up special, get wedges to point the rear diff flange straight at the centre bearing mount, and have the joint at the centre bearing swapped for a double cardan joint. no vibes, no rash, no smash.
