CV Double Cardan cross fit
found a guy selling a drive shaft from a 2000 Excursion that has a Double Cardan joint.
checked and found that replacement ujoints call for the same part number as my 2004 F150.
do you think I can use the CV joint on my F150?
this option, if doable, would eliminate the vibration issues ater shimming the pinion up.

If the driveshaft is long enough you could try it, but I have a feeling it will end up being too short or maybe even too long...
If you have a 6 inch lift, I recall reading once that some lift kits require you to re index the driveshaft..
It's hard to say which driveshaft your actually talking about.. Front, rear or both?
If I was you, for the rear I would try and get the rear pinion angle corrected with shims or new rear blocks. If you have taller leaf springs already than shims would be your answer.
