    6-inch lift on 37 in tires
    2010 Toyota Tundra DC 5.7 4x4 with 124k miles.
    My Tundra has a 6" lift on 37" wheels. This causes a lot of strain on the mid shift bearing and the U-joints. I have had the truck for 4 years and have put under 30k miles on it total. It is a pavement princess, and I baby it. I have replaced all U-joints and the mid shift bearing twice since I've owned it. I am looking for some ideas on a 1-piece driveshaft to eliminate the mid-shift bearing. I'm also interested in possibly converting to an upgraded U-joint set up if available. Or is there a better than OEM mid shift bearing out there for my truck?
    Should I not convert to a single shaft? Pros and Cons!
    Does anyone have any experience or knowledge on this?
    I appreciate anyone's thoughts or opinions on this.
    Thanks in Advance.
