That's just it. Any driveshaft company is sourcing more or less the same parts as the other guy. They don't make most of the stuff they put on the ends of the driveshaft, that's where the money is.

How much front driveshaft slip?
- Thread starter Mastiff
- Start date
I asked HAD for a quote on a 1310 shaft with 8" slip. Sounds like he's balking at mating a 1310 CV to the 208 flange (originally 3R) and suggested 1350. Can anyone educate me on this? I'm not so interested in going to 1350 since I'd have to clearance the crossmember, plus I'll still have 1310 at axle, unless I change the yoke there too. 3R has terrible angle capability IIRC.

You'll kick yourself for paying all that money and using 1310. Honestly, I step all the way to a 1410 and be done.
Ok, to make things interesting what is the difference between a 1410 CV and a 1410 BAMF. I know the BAMF is a repurposed AG application capable of 42 degrees but a 1410 CV is capable of 37 degrees at half the cost.
Most of the price 50% in parts is in the CV with a BAMF.

As I stated before, the ag part is probably not sealed and can't tolerate extended high speeds.

Yeah it states most failure is caused by high rpm. I'd run it if it was cheap though.
I really question anyone who needs to go over 30 mph in 4wd though. Maybe plowing a fresh snow trail but it's not going to gain you much plus it's only short spurts.

If you're interested in finding a 1350 cv shaft from a Super Duty to use, try this - https://ck5.com/forums/threads/whos-using-a-super-duty-cv-driveshaft.306433/
So nobody knows what the deal is with hooking to the NP208 front flange?
Shouldn't be any issue. My 241c is the same bolt pattern which is pretty standard. Just specify four bolt Chevy flange with a two inch pilot.
I am questioning the BAMF as it seems that for 5 degrees more you are spending a lot more money

If you're not rock crawling or putting some extreme amount of force on the front end I wouldn't worry about it. I use a stock front shaft for my 208 and I wheel in the rocks. It hasn't broken yet and I'm on 40 inch tires with a lousy gear ratio.
I'm just trying to understand why HAD is acting like 1310 CV can't hook to my flange. I need a new shaft to get the extra slip and to survive 30 degree angles. 1310 can do that.

Probably has 1350s sitting there done...
The 1310 is shorter than a 1350. Depending in your angle it may not be long enough to clear your crossmember without massaging. I know mine rubbed pretty good after my lift.
I don't know what my driveshafts are. They are bigger than stock CV joints, but they don't look like they are from a Super Duty.
My slip is not very long, and it works fine.

Sorry i wasn't clear. Mine doesn't have a double cardigan. I missed that you were looking for that. I decided against to see how i liked it.
How do you like it? I may end up going this route.
I have 3R on there now. I was assuming that's comparable to 1310, but I found this:
SERIES. CAP DIA. WIDTH (Lock-up Dimension)
1210 1.0625″ 2.435″
1310* 1.0625″ 3.218″
1330 1.0625″ 3.625″
1350* 1.188″ 3.625″
1410 1.188″ 4.188″
1480 1.375″ 4.188″
7260 (Detroit) 1.078″ 2.125″
7290 (Detroit) 1.125″ 2.625″
3R (Saginaw) 1.125″ 2.5625″
So, 3R is WAY smaller than anything else. Does everyone running custom shafts have custom crossmembers, or what? The 3R barely clears as it is.

I see a lot of "massaged" crossmembers. Its fairly common to rub. The stock shaft rubbed on my truck a bit. Ill probably have to do something like these to keep the cv from rubbing:
