Not sure where you are located, but, Brookline Machine Company in East Providence, RI is fantastic. They did work for me years ago repairing a drive shaft for an old dodge I owned. Great work and very reasonable pricing.

X2 on Denny's Driveshafts.
Local company for me and have had 3 driveshafts made by them. Have yet to twist any of them.

I’m using a 4” Spicer tube. It’s a truck spec tube that’s rated at 850-900ft/lbs. local truck shop carries the tube and 3” fits stock yokes. I’m making a fair amount of power, well over 900whp and 800 ft/lbs without having any issues. My driveshaft is over 4 years old with a lot street miles and many 1/4 mile runs down the track.

Edit, I’ll mention that it’s noticeably heavier than a stock driveshaft.
