Where can I get a drive shaft shortened, locally, besides Cincinnati Driveline?

A buddy here at my work will do it for $40 but I am up in Middletown.

grind the welds, and use a chopsaw to shorten it. unless of course it's a DD. mines hideous, and i've never felt a vibe from it, and it has been through hell, not to mention, it was the first thing i ever stick welded.

I thought about doing it myself, but I want to make 100% sure its done right, and balanced. Its not a DD, but will be driven to the trails, which can be up to 4-5 hours away. I cant afford to have it fail.

I have dealt with Republic Diesel on the big rig end of things, getting parts from them and they all seem to be decent guys. I think the did fire the one I didn't like so that works out. But I would give them a sort good prices.
