This driveshaft fits any 4WD cab and bed combination (Regular \/ Quad \/ Crew \/ Mega Cab, Long and Short Bed). Use this driveshaft to upgrade your existing one piece driveshaft or to convert your two piece driveshaft into a heavy duty one piece. We will need you to measure for the driveshaft to verify proper fit. Measuring is very easy to do - just follow the diagram below. If you have a 2019 or newer, call us to confirm fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eDodge Ram driveshafts are notorious for driveshaft vibrations and component failures. Countless customers complain of their OEM two piece shaft having repeated and expensive carrier bearing failures. Our Aluminum eliminates the carrier bearing for a stronger, more reliable driveshaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThis driveshaft is heavy duty from end to end. We use only the highest quality 1550\/1555 universal joints from top brands such as Spicer or Neapco. The Aluminum tubing is 5 inch OD Arconic premium aluminum seamless material that is 1\/8 inch thick -- rated for over 7,000 ft\/lbs of torque! It will handle even the heaviest towing loads. Most of the OEM one piece aluminum shafts are only 0.083 inch thick. Some Rams have the smaller 1415 or 1485 u-joint but you can upsize to this 1555 shaft without an issue since the transfer case yoke and flange bolt pattern are the same on the Ram 4x4 trucks. The upsized driveshaft will last longer due to the bigger u-joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe driveshaft comes fully assembled, balanced and ready to bolt in. Installation is as simple as sliding in the transfer case yoke and bolting up the flange. It is not common but it is always a good idea to check for clearance issues with the carrier bearing cross member to ensure that the cross member does not need to be removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch3\u003eThis is a 100% new 5 inch aluminum driveshaft including a new transfer case slip yoke, new driveshaft and new flange. This is an all new direct replacement driveshaft. All you have to do is remove your old shaft and bolt up the new shaft.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eYou won't be disappointed with your Ram 5 inch aluminum driveshaft. Time and again customers are impressed at how well made the driveshaft is and better yet, how it helps solve vibration and carrier bearing problems - no matter if is a daily driver, over the road towing rig or pulling truck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-12\"\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-6\"\u003e\n \u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eFree Ground Shipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eSeamless Arconic Aluminum Tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003ePrecision Balancing\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003c\/ul\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-6\"\u003e\n \u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003ePremium Sealed OEM U-Joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eCustom Length Options\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eLifetime Weld Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003c\/ul\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cp style=\"color:white;\"\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"shopify-tab-content\" id=\"tab-2\"\u003e\n \u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n \u003ctbody\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e\n \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeld Yoke Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n \u003ctd\u003eAluminum 6061-T6 Forged Yoke\u003c\/td\u003e\n \u003c\/tr\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e\n \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTube Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n \u003ctd\u003e0.125 Inch Wall 6061-T6 Seamless\u003c\/td\u003e\n \u003c\/tr\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e\n \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outside Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n \u003ctd\u003e5 Inch OD \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/actionmachineinc.myshopify.com\/pages\/tube-diameter-reference-page\" title=\"Measuring Guide Tube Diameter\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e(Measuring Guide -

Our 1\/8 inch thick heavy duty Arconic brand tube is made with an even wall thickness and extra straight from end to end to run vibration free and for incredible torque performance. Some driveshafts with cheaper prices have conversion u-joints that step from one u-joint size to another or greaseable u-joints. Conversion and greaseable u-joints are not as strong as the cold forged solid cross u-joints that we use and have more play. Many of the cheaper shafts have cast weld yokes at each end while ours are USA made forged weld yokes. In fact, every part of our driveshaft from end to end is USA made premium product – assembled, welded and balanced by our team here in Indiana.

This driveshaft fits any 4WD cab and bed combination (Regular \/ Quad \/ Crew \/ Mega Cab, Long and Short Bed). Use this driveshaft to upgrade your existing one piece driveshaft or to convert your two piece driveshaft into a heavy duty one piece. We will need you to measure for the driveshaft to verify proper fit. Measuring is very easy to do - just follow the diagram below. If you have a 2019 or newer, call us to confirm fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eDodge Ram driveshafts are notorious for driveshaft vibrations and component failures. Countless customers complain of their OEM two piece shaft having repeated and expensive carrier bearing failures. Our Aluminum eliminates the carrier bearing for a stronger, more reliable driveshaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThis driveshaft is heavy duty from end to end. We use only the highest quality 1550\/1555 universal joints from top brands such as Spicer or Neapco. The Aluminum tubing is 5 inch OD Arconic premium aluminum seamless material that is 1\/8 inch thick -- rated for over 7,000 ft\/lbs of torque! It will handle even the heaviest towing loads. Most of the OEM one piece aluminum shafts are only 0.083 inch thick. Some Rams have the smaller 1415 or 1485 u-joint but you can upsize to this 1555 shaft without an issue since the transfer case yoke and flange bolt pattern are the same on the Ram 4x4 trucks. The upsized driveshaft will last longer due to the bigger u-joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe driveshaft comes fully assembled, balanced and ready to bolt in. Installation is as simple as sliding in the transfer case yoke and bolting up the flange. It is not common but it is always a good idea to check for clearance issues with the carrier bearing cross member to ensure that the cross member does not need to be removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch3\u003eThis is a 100% new 5 inch aluminum driveshaft including a new transfer case slip yoke, new driveshaft and new flange. This is an all new direct replacement driveshaft. All you have to do is remove your old shaft and bolt up the new shaft.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eYou won't be disappointed with your Ram 5 inch aluminum driveshaft.

Our 1\/8 inch thick heavy duty Arconic brand tube is made with an even wall thickness and extra straight from end to end to run vibration free and for incredible torque performance. Some driveshafts with cheaper prices have conversion u-joints that step from one u-joint size to another or greaseable u-joints. Conversion and greaseable u-joints are not as strong as the cold forged solid cross u-joints that we use and have more play. Many of the cheaper shafts have cast weld yokes at each end while ours are USA made forged weld yokes. In fact, every part of our driveshaft from end to end is USA made premium product – assembled, welded and balanced by our team here in Indiana. You can’t compare the quality, durability and life you will get from our driveshaft to other lower cost driveshafts out there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003chr\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2012\/8549\/files\/Screen_Shot_2024-04-11_at_1.38.19_PM.png?v=1712858130\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- ↑ TAB Section ↑ --\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eRequired Driveshaft Measurements:\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eYou can place your order today and we will send a follow up email requesting your driveshaft length or your can submit your measurement below.
