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 alt=\"\" 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\/section\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\u003c!--\np:not(:last-child) {\n margin: 0 0 20px;\n}\n\n\nsection {\n display: none;\n padding: 50px 0 0;\n border-top: 1px solid #DE330E;\n}\n\n#tab1a {\n display: none;\n}\n#tab2a {\n display: none;\n}\n#tab3a {\n display: none;\n}\n#tab4a {\n display: none;\n}\n\n\nlabel {\n display: inline-block;\n margin: 0 0 -1px;\n padding: 15px 25px;\n font-weight: 600;\n text-align: center;\n color: #DE330E;\n border: 1px solid transparent;\n}\n\nlabel:before {\n \n font-weight: normal;\n margin-right: 10px;\n}\n\nlabel[for*='1']:before { content: '\\f1cb'; }\nlabel[for*='2']:before { content: '\\f17d'; }\nlabel[for*='3']:before { content: '\\f16c'; }\nlabel[for*='4']:before { content: '\\f171'; }\n\nlabel:hover {\n color: #789;\n cursor: pointer;\n}\n\ninput:checked + label {\n color: #DE330E;\n border: 1px solid #abc;\n border-top: 2px solid #DE330E;\n border-bottom: 1px solid #fff;\n}\n\n#tab1a:checked ~ #content1,\n#tab2a:checked ~ #content2,\n#tab3a:checked ~ #content3,\n#tab4a:checked ~ #content4 {\n display: block;\n}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis drive shaft includes the slip yoke and is balanced and ready to install.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cb\u003eModified Vehicles:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis driveshaft is designed to fit stock vehicle applications, double check your driveshaft length if your truck is lifted, leveled or modified.

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 alt=\"\" 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\/section\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\u003c!--\np:not(:last-child) {\n margin: 0 0 20px;\n}\n\n\nsection {\n display: none;\n padding: 50px 0 0;\n border-top: 1px solid #DE330E;\n}\n\n#tab1a {\n display: none;\n}\n#tab2a {\n display: none;\n}\n#tab3a {\n display: none;\n}\n#tab4a {\n display: none;\n}\n\n\nlabel {\n display: inline-block;\n margin: 0 0 -1px;\n padding: 15px 25px;\n font-weight: 600;\n text-align: center;\n color: #DE330E;\n border: 1px solid transparent;\n}\n\nlabel:before {\n \n font-weight: normal;\n margin-right: 10px;\n}\n\nlabel[for*='1']:before { content: '\\f1cb'; }\nlabel[for*='2']:before { content: '\\f17d'; }\nlabel[for*='3']:before { content: '\\f16c'; }\nlabel[for*='4']:before { content: '\\f171'; }\n\nlabel:hover {\n color: #789;\n cursor: pointer;\n}\n\ninput:checked + label {\n color: #DE330E;\n border: 1px solid #abc;\n border-top: 2px solid #DE330E;\n border-bottom: 1px solid #fff;\n}\n\n#tab1a:checked ~ #content1,\n#tab2a:checked ~ #content2,\n#tab3a:checked ~ #content3,\n#tab4a:checked ~ #content4 {\n display: block;\n}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis drive shaft includes the slip yoke and is balanced and ready to install.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cb\u003eModified Vehicles:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis driveshaft is designed to fit stock vehicle applications, double check your driveshaft length if your truck is lifted, leveled or modified.

Quality Aluminum Tubing vs. Thin wall Swedged Tubing

Action Machine Inc.:
Heavy Duty Tubing 
The Others:
Thin Wall Swedged Tubing

The Action Machine driveshaft is a heavy-duty driveshaft made to last. You will find cheaper aluminum driveshafts on the internet but that is what they are – cheaper in price and quality.

AMI aluminum vs Swedged driveshaft

When you see other aluminum driveshafts with tubing that is bigger in the middle and smaller at the ends, that is a thin wall 0.075 inch aluminum which is light duty OEM material. 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.



This drive shaft includes the slip yoke and is balanced and ready to install.

Modified Vehicles:
This driveshaft is designed to fit stock vehicle applications, double check your driveshaft length if your truck is lifted, leveled or modified. We maybe able to make you a custom driveshaft to match your unique vehicle specifications - contact us today with your driveshaft length (measuring guide). The maximum length driveshaft that AMI can build is 89 inches seal to center of u-joint.
