Try East County Drive Shaft.  They did the front drive shaft on Chief's rig.  Pretty good price from what I remember.

Yea, I had a longer drive shaft from a 4 door or Unlimited Wrangler and I had East County Drive Shaft shorten it, balance it, and re-build the CV joint for about $120.  I am not sure if it would cost more and how much more to lengthened, but it shouldn't be too much more.  When I picked my drive shaft up, it looked brand new.  I was very impressed and happy with their work.

Usually when you lengthen a drive shaft it costs more because you are being charged for the tube material. When it gets shortened all they are doing is cutting down the original material and weld the joint back on

Yes sir East County Drive Shaft did my longbed Comanche's rear shaft for a reasonable price. I also brought in some rear shafts that i had in the garage. They can reuse some of your old parts so I would bring them.

If you need a complete shaft built I would HIGHLY recomend TOM WOODS DRIVESHAFTS. Google him  and give him a call. Igot both of mine built from him and they were on my doorstep in 4 days. high quality as well. He knows his stuff. You get a few upgrade options as well. The best part was he was cheaper then the local guys.
