This driveshaft fits any 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\t\nDodge 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, vibrations or shudders. Our Carbon Fiber driveshaft eliminates the carrier bearing for a stronger, more reliable driveshaft. \n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nKeep in mind that we build your driveshaft with the OEM 1485 u-joint. 1480 and 1485 are basically the same u-joint however the 1485 is a few thousandths of an inch narrower across the caps. So, both work but we prefer to build with the OEM 1485 premium sealed u-joint to guarantee a proper fit without vibrations. \n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis driveshaft is heavy duty from end to end and is our most popular Ram 2500\/3500 driveshaft. We use the OEM American Axle cold forged u-joint - the same one that comes in a brand new truck. The Carbon Fiber tubing is 4.00 Inch ID \/ 4.310 Inch OD premium Carbon Fiber seamless material that is 1\/8 inch thick -- rated for over 8,000 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 u-joint but we recommend you upsize you this 1485 shaft since the transfer case yoke and flange bolt pattern are the same on all of the Ram 4x4 trucks. The upsized driveshaft will last longer due to the bigger u-joint. In addition, you can upgrade your 1415 or 1485 driveshaft to the \u003ca title='1555 5\" Carbon Fiber Dodge Ram Driveshaft' href=\"https:\/\/www.actionmachineinc.com\/products\/5a1555?variant=39834678661\"\u003e1555 Series 5 inch Aluminum Driveshaft\u003c\/a\u003e which is the biggest u-joint available for Dodge Ram trucks for the ultimate in driveshaft u-joint durability. The transfer case yoke and rear flange pattern are all interchangeable in the 1415, 1485 and 1555 driveshafts to allow for easy upgraded. \n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe 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. You do need to check for clearance issues. The OEM two piece driveshaft is 3.5 inch tube and the one piece shaft is 4.310 inch. You don't want the new bigger tube to rub so check the carrier bearing cross member to ensure it does not need to be removed. \n\t\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cb\u003e\nOur driveshaft is 100% new 4.310 inch Carbon Fiber 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. \n\t\u003c\/b\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003e\nYou won't be disappointed with your Ram 4.310 inch Carbon Fiber 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. \t\n\t\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tab-2\" class=\"shopify-tab-content\"\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"height: 241.312px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBond 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\u003e0.155 Inch WALL Carbon Fiber\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\u003e4.00 Inch ID \/ 4.310 Inch OD\u003ca title=\"Measuring Guide Tube Diameter\" href=\"https:\/\/actionmachineinc.myshopify.com\/pages\/tube-diameter-reference-page\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e(Measuring Guide - Tube OD)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eU-Joint:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmerican Axle \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.actionmachineinc.com\/products\/74081485?variant=43014511429\" title=\"AAM 74081485 U-Joint\"\u003e74081485\u003c\/a\u003e Universal Joint\u003cbr\u003eU-Joint Information:\u003cbr\u003e1485 Series \/ Premium Non-Greasable\u003cbr\u003e1 - \u003csup\u003e3\u003c\/sup\u003e⁄\u003csub\u003e8\u003c\/sub\u003e (1.375)\" Cap x 4-\u003csup\u003e3\u003c\/sup\u003e⁄\u003csub\u003e16\u003c\/sub\u003e(4.188) \"Span\u003cbr\u003e(\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.actionmachineinc.com\/products\/74081555?variant=43015873029\" title=\"AAM 74081555 U-Joint\"\u003eMeasuring Guide - U-Joint\u003c\/a\u003e )\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCustom Length Options:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMeasure from seal to flat\u003cbr\u003eMax length 93.5 inches seal to flat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransmission Slip Yoke:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40041575\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlange Yoke:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40055528\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tab-3\" class=\"shopify-tab-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDodge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMake:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRam 2500 and Ram 3500\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYears:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2003-2013\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4WD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCab Sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRegular Cab, Quad Cab, Crew Cab, and Mega Cab\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBed Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShort Bed and Long Bed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eU-Joint Series:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e- This 1480 driveshaft is an upgrade form the stock 1410 OEM series universal joint.\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGas and Diesel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransmission\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAutomatic and Manual\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- ↑ TAB Section ↑ --\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.

Exceeding Industry Standards

Quality Carbon Fiber Driveshafts


When you need a driveshaft that is ultra-lightweight, incredibly strong, and engineered to handle today’s highest torque loads, an Action Machine carbon fiber driveshaft is the answer. Carbon fiber offers a higher critical speed than both aluminum and steel, meaning you can run longer or smaller-diameter one-piece shafts without vibration issues.

Our shafts are built with 0.155" wall carbon fiber tubing, providing exceptional strength and stiffness for demanding applications including high-horsepower muscle cars, drag cars, and modern performance vehicles. With superior fatigue resistance and the ability to withstand torque levels well beyond aluminum, carbon fiber delivers the reliability and performance edge serious builders demand.

Beyond strength, carbon fiber naturally reduces rotational weight for faster acceleration and lap times, while also improving NVH characteristics by dampening driveline vibration. And unlike steel or aluminum shafts that can twist metal or cause severe damage upon failure, carbon fiber is designed to shred safely, protecting both the vehicle and its occupants.

Choose an Action Machine carbon fiber driveshaft for cutting-edge performance, safety, and durability, engineered for everything from race cars to modern street performance builds.
