where ya at?
I'm in Red Bluff CA, we have a local D/S guy, Wiggley that does rebuilds to new stuff, and my next driveshaft I think will be from HighAngle Driveline out of Paradise CA
HighAngle Drivelines does custom work for crawlers, I've read a couple of articles about them in 4x4 magazines. I haven't met em yet but it's on my "to do" list

High Angle is as good as it gets. There may be others around, but they're pretty local so you could get pretty fast.

I dont want to bash on wiggley, but hes had my shafts for 3+ weeks. I wish I had called high angle or tom woods and just bought new ones. I thought I could save some money by using my old shafts, may not save much.
Im sure Wiggley's does a nice job, he told me he had a fever and temp of 105 the last time I talked to him.

I think Wiggley is pretty much a quick fix to a difficult problem. Storm goes there about every week, High Angle would be a better way to go in the long run.

What drive shaft front or rear. D28 or 7.5.
I think I have both.
If it's a two piece rear your out of luck I just threw one out! And if your going to up grade Explorer shafts are much bigger. You'll have to lengthen it I think 2" not sure though.
