Question snaped a back drive shaft

OK guys i was playing last night and well. i loaded the truck up with 26lbs of boost let it go and it went down hill fast from there...

after the carrier baring on the second part.. it snaped off all 4 arms on the Ujoint that conects to the back axle to that part of the drive shaft..

im going to replace the back drive shaft but i wanted to know if i should upgrade or go to a one pice drive shaft.?.

i have seen those but i dont know if there any better then the 2 pice i have now..

id like to know what yall think... or should i just replace it back with what i had that is a stock drive shaft....

If you're going to be doing boosted launches, I'd say spend as much as you can.

26 pounds of boost? Wow.

you won't be able to buy just the back 1/2 from dodge. only way to do that is to take what you have left to a driveshaft shop and have them rebuild it.

go 1 piece either that or step down a few psi when playing on boosted launches lol

i think im just going to buy the back shaft from a parts shop that is by me he has a wrecked dodge and put new Ujoints and go easy on the truck.
the old shaft is bent bad from hiting the ground and it did fall out from under the truck... so i putt it in 4 high and drorve it home i was only 15mi from home...

better just get the entire shaft. the back 1/2 is balanced to the front 1/2 and $5 says you get a vibration. Just my .02
