Besides... $3k for something that will not break or that you will not have to fix or rebuild constantly... is a better mentality than a $10k paint job.

If you NEED a 4" driveshaft, then you don't have a choice. Same goes for a FF axle. If you DON'T need a 4" shaft, than what's the point? You'll just spend more money on something that is oversized. Bigger isn't always better.
