In my blazer I used the xj and in my v3500 I used a 2002 chevy Express van shaft which is a two joint system but has a rubber bushing on the shaft that does not transmit any noticable change to the wheel other than the rag joint shortcomings.
If you have a good condition rag joint and slip joint in your OEM shaft you will notice no change.
