Are the unis the same front and rear.??

If so I would get an other rear shaft and have it shortened. I don’t know if you need to have it balanced.

The rear shafts tend to be bigger and stronger. :D

If you take it to a half decent place they wont need to balance a front shaft as you really won't need to use it at speed.
Having said that I had my hilux past 100kmh on frazer island with my extended non-balanced shaft with no vibration or anything...
