For a shaft over 5 feet you would have had to upsize the diameter. As long as the pinion angle is the same as the transmission, you shouldn't have a problem. The Angle of the driveshaft may change a bit. The primary cause of failure is bad balance, or too extreme of a joint angle. The universal joints also like to fail if one spins faster then the other. This happens when the transmission and rear end are not parallel with each other. The Universal joints accelerate as they bend and twist, bad geometry will cause catastrophic failure of the joint or driveshaft due to the different velocity of the 2 joints.
Hey Greg, when are you gonna take me for a ride?
