    there is one but the diameter is quite large and you have to bang in part of the floor pan to clear

    yeah my friend said that he had to do some banging but it was so minor that no one could even tell when he put the stock one back on to sell unless you were looking for it.

    driveshaftshop. I got mine in 3 days

    and I didn't have to bang shit on my floorboards. it is a beefy part, and it makes a noticeable difference

    IIRC they're in north carolina

    Just reduces rotational mass, like a lightweight flywheel, except between the tranny and rear diff.
