VerifiedIn the sitting position , will the shaft and joint be straight or at 15'?
I believe the outer joint should hold up. It handles over 2000 pounds on the rabbit. I would suggest you get a shaft, remove the boot and set it up for the turning radius to see where the pressure points are. Only accept if you are satisfied.
