I'm looking to run a trans and xfer case that looks to need a front shaft which will need a carrier bearing. Although I've been doing my investigating as to which bearing or how to run it I am still confused as to which one to actually get, or how to mount it. This will be on a flat fender running yj,s spring under with toyota axles. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

When I had the SM420 transmission in my fun fender I made a 2pc shaft using a carrier bearing for a GM 2wd truck and an old front output shaft from a D20. It worked fine all the time I had it in the vehicle.
As long as you have hubs in the front I don't think you have to worry about angles on the joints too much.
My only suggestion is to try and make sure you can get the carrier bearing out easily with whatever bracket you design. Mine was a pain in the rear for packaging so I had to mount it half stupid. I like having a normal front driveshaft if possible but it was nice not really having to worry about smacking the front driveshaft on much of anything....

I run a 3 piece shaft. I used a carrier from Wide Open Designs. So essentially I have 2 complete front shafts.
I like the set up and it works flawlessly. No vibes at speed. For my set up - very positive.
So negatives - you need some room to run it. My rig is stretched pretty heavily up front. So I have room. If you are stockish, I'd recommend following Miser's advice and set up. If you are stretched out, I'm a real fan of the true 3 piece deal.

id realy like to see how this turns out im a driveline tech with 20yrs behind me and unless youre a rock crawling . then a 1 peice should work just fine in fact if you have angle issues then pm me i make a 85 degree angle driveshaft for the most extreme

please keep the bickering via pms. Im really hoping to find as many 2 or 3 piece shafts for a front shaft. Mieser, yours looks like the best bet. I have an 85 toy with the 2 piece rear shaft and it looks flimsy as all heck, though it would work just find for the front shaft. I'm glad Mieser posted a pic of the space available as I am glad there is just enough to fit the bearing.
You're already running Toyota axles, run the Toyota shaft and be done with it. They are extremely strong, nearly the strength of a 1350.
hendrix motorsports has a toyota specific carrier bearing replacement that is much beefier than stock...
