Typically, drive shafts require custom fabrication based on measurements taken from your truck.
It is common to need a custom drive shaft after installing lift kits on trucks or in high-performance street racers; however, there are too many variables to make a mail-order custom drive shaft.
Google custom drive shaft in your area. Most major cities will have a shop.
In Denver, Colorado, there are several. I personally have used Bill's Englewood Driveshaft. I had a custom drive shaft made for my 2011 F-150 Raptor many years ago.

That's the simplest and most reliable option, as the owner doesn't have to do anything. There's no place for user error.

Most places I've been in the US have a driveshaft shop within a reasonable distance. I'm not sure why, honestly.

There must be a business case of which I am unaware; perhaps agricultural.

From what I can recall, Woods will make just about anything you want; and it's high quality stuff.

You'll need to spend some time measuring things, obviously. It's not 100% idiot-proof.
I'm running them front and rear on my Land Rover. Never had issues.
I just wish the OP would let us know why he needs a new driveshaft.

I bet because they are rusty from the factory.

My Dicovery 2 has GBR shafts, but I bought them long ago, before Tom Woods had one on the rack.

These days I'd just call Woods first for pretty much anything.
