Default Multiple Double Cardan Driveshaft

Has anyone tried a multiple double cardan front driveshaft in order to get enough caster for the steering and eliminate vibrations? I know they're available. I'm thinking about ordering one, but haven't found any info from anyone that has used one.

I would think without some form of central carrier bearing there would be way to much pay in that type of shaft. I would be curious to see someones thoughts on it that has done it though.

I was talking to Tom Woods about ordering one of his driveshafts. When I asked about the caster and vibrations he said that when this is an issue they go to the multiple double cardan, and I got the impression that they had sold some for JKs. They do advertise them on their site for other vehicles where "the pinon angle cannot be adjusted without adversely effecting the steering caster". Sounds like exactly what you deal with on a lifted JK to me.

I know Tom knows his stuff so I aint gonna argue that. But I would still be interested in getting some feedback from someone that has one. Not sure I would wanna be a ginuea pig for that one.
