There is a point with "AGE" and "Duty Cycle" (where even the best parts fail eventually). Put a driveshaft loop on the vehicle and save your vehicle from
potential sheet metal replacement down the road.
It's probably one of the reasons why, as I mentioned earlier, our driveline shop does not work on used aluminum driveshafts. He'll build you a nice shiny brand new one though

However, he'll work on and modify used steel driveshafts all day long
