I changed out all my bushing and clutch and still get a slight clunk.
I think alot of the noise comes from our driveshaft. Also I bet a 1 piece will tranfer power better to the ground.

But super shaft is right , You dont want just any ol phoney make you a shaft because If it breaks It can do some damage.

I honestly don't know, the 4" is a very tight fit and the rear needs to be held much tighter then it is with the factory set up.. (which is another thread/issue)
I can tell you the mustang which also has the slip sleeve dilema is around 690, but the caddy has the rzeppa end to deal with and the fixed end tripod at the trans...that's going to add to the cost, and then the hanger structure is another issue to lose

If you guy's ever blow up your trans, lose that particular style t56 and get the slip yoke version.

The shaft can be so much lighter with the slip yoke version over the fixed style shaft
Every pound is equal to 20 lbs carrying in the driveline.. so losing 10 lbs in the driveline is like losing 200 lbs of carrying weight.
Ya I dont think a 4" will fit either, Id like to see a one piece made. But It would only be worth spending the $$ if it was alittle lighter then stock.

And keep us updating on how to keep the rear planted better too.
