I have a 2015 Ram 1500 crew cab shortened with two piece drive line. Can it can be converted to a single drive line? Also if you have done it please comment with whatever you feel pertinent.

Just out of curiosity, why switch?
You don't read about the midshift bearing being troublesome.

When I get on it I feel a vibration from stopped to about 30mph or till it shifts into 3rd. I don’t push and most the time I drive like a old man

Have you checked your U-joints.

Did you actually take the 2 piece driveshaft off and move the joints through their full motion. Could also be the steady bearing.

No I haven’t gone that far but looks like my next step. How do you check the stabilizer bearing

To check the centre bearing, just make sure there’s no signs of rust coming out, spins freely, the rubber isolator isn’t falling apart.

The u-joints should move freely throughout their range of motion. If they stick/bind or show signs of any rust coming out from the cups, it’s a bad U-joint.

I figured it out
The truck come lifted but never put the spacer on the center support bearing. Now after adding 1.5 inch spacers it’s perfect
