Hate to be "that guy" but it's an entirely different issue on offroad trucks.
- Crazy amounts of torque by using low range transfer cases.
- Bad angles that the U-joints aren't designed for.
- If bad angles are used, they use a double U-joint as a CV joint to get around the angle so the u-joints don't fail.
None of those issues effect this chassis as it's not a live axle and the two piece shaft is more likely to counter critical speed issues...
