Acutally my real problem is my transfer case never lets go of the front driveshaft (the front axle is disengaged but the front driveshaft never stops spinning) And after i put on my trailmaster it was at so much more of an angle that it ripped the b00t and splurged its grease all over the bottom of my car.
So I have thought of a couple of options:
1. get a custom driveshaft with u-joints at both ends (or have mine modified)
2. Fix the transfer case (the front driveshaft spinning never hurt anything that i know of and never bothered me, and I have no idea how to go about fixing it.)
3. I ran out of ideas but either way it will require some kind of mod to fix the driveshaft or the boot on it.
sounds like thats a personal problem - haha, for real depending on what parts you need I may be able to sell you my old one, but I need the sleeve that fits over the output shaft

Well I had and idea to put a cv boot over the whole thing and just put a boatload of grease in it. I think that is going to work, im ganna try it tomorrow

Can't help you out with your shaft, but I will "poke" fun....
I thought only yankees, yuppies, and women referred to anything with 4 wheels as a car. It's got 4x4, 7 inches of lift and 33's -- call it a truck man!!! Be proud!!!
lol j/k w/ya.

I kind of fixed my shaft problems. Temporarily at least. I removed it but I better fix it and put it back before I need to tackle my next adventure.
Sorry I call everything a car.
I even call trucks cars.
guess its just a habit, I never classified my blazer as a truck it just didnt "feel" right seeing that it is half the size and all.
The diamater of the shaft looks so small compared to the universals. I would guess what an 1"- 1 1/2"....I went out and measured the shafts on my atv and they are close to 1 1/8"...
hey i'm just curious is a new front shaft a must have for a lifted crew? i've got a 5in tm on order and just got my 2in bl yesterday but i want to have all my ducks in a row before i put this stuff on. should i plan on going straight to the driveline shop for a new front shaft after the lift is put on or will the stock on get me by for awhile? i don't plan on doing anything off road until next spring when the sand dunes open up here in michigan. the lift is more for looks than anything.
