Default Is this a one piece or two piece drive shaft??

Dumb question I know but it looks like a one piece. There's no other connections except to the rear axle then to the transmission....

rear axle...


to the trans...


straight thru...


So if it's a one piece all I need to do when adding my flip kit is the transmission spacer, right??

I have done similar except using wood across the tire.
I have had a jackstand lean over due to wrenching and pulling and tugging, but that tire n wood idea does NOT move!!!

Thats exactly how my ds fell from the trans. I had my jack holding up the axle since it had to be raised and lowered, then whoops, there went the ds.

But hey, 1st time lowering a truck. All i had was instructions in hand and a whole lot of trial and error.
