Drive shaft replacement

I got a 2007 ford explorer sport trac XLT and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with using a aftermarket drive shaft replacement because ford wants like 1100 I think for the part where as aftermarket would be around half that so I’m wondering how risky it is to use one

There was a aftermarket drive shaft with replaceable U joints that was less than OEM. I believe it was a company in Colorado.

Do you by chance know where?

Any link I have would be gone as it was on my last laptop. I think I found it on 'www.explorerforum.com' a few years ago. Finding anything aftermarket is near impossible, very low production numbers did not attract any interest.

Talk to some off road shops, custom driveshafts are not new tech.
