Default Driveshaft Work

Guys,
I saw a thread a while back that talked about cutting the cost of driveshafts and a member had said to have a local shop fab the driveshafts. I did a little reasearch and found that there is a shop in town that does killer driveshaft work. What do I need to have them do? I have a 2 door and would like to go with a 4" lift.

May not help but I installed the RC 2 1/2 spring and shock kit under some 2 inch spacers and although I don't need articulation there is no problem with extreme angle induced vibration and such. I posted some pics awhile back of the install and am real happy with the result. I looks and drives just like I want.

with a 2 dr and 4" lift you will need a new rear shaft. They can build it with shelf parts so it can be repaired easily with no custom parts. I would get the lift installed first. just make sure the installer of the lift adjusts your pinion agle correctly. My Local shop did a great job. Good Luck.
