When I switched my stock driveshaft out for the Inland Empire HD aluminum one, it felt literally HALF the weight of the stocker...and that's for the HD aluminum one! That stock steel driveshaft was one heavy ****.

I cant remember the exact amount but I think it was 21lbs vs 13lbs... maybe, it was a lot. When I swapped te steel one for an LPE 3.5" it was a huge difference.

stock steal driveshafts break easily... we've seen a handful of relatively stock cars w/ stock steal shafts break on the dyno, and damage the trans case/output shaft. so regardless of the weight issue i'd get rid of the stocker.
