I have a 97 reg cab/ long bed and mine is the rusted steel. I would like to paint it along with the rest of my frame but I do not want to even chance causing a vibe in the driveline. Does anyone think a coat of paint might do this?

A lot of the newer trucks have the aluminum, especially the Chevies. Those things are massive they're like 8 inches around! I am still partial to steel though. Anyone have one of the new Carbon Fiber ones?

I might have rusted riveshaft but IMO I think I would rather have the steel one. Espescailly after seeing Raoul's post. Man it would be nice to own a big lifted 4X4 AND a fast AZZ "L"
