See your local driveline shop and ask for a 3.5" .125 wall shaft, using 5-795 joints

PST? Don't know if they will bolt up to a 10 bolt. I can sell you my stock driveshaft from my ws6 if you just want to replace yours. I'm an M6 if that matters. PM me if interested.

This is what I ordered. I ordered mine the same time I ordered my 9" so they knew what rear end I had. I would call brute speed and order a pst drive shaft so you can tell them you still have your 10 bolt. Only took 2 days for mine to arrive.

Give us a call, we can get you into a PST unit. I would also recommend one of our bolt in drive shaft loops as well.

I went with a Denny's Nitrous Ready DS...if you break it they give you a new one.
