Most anything can be made to work, but 4.25" is large diameter.

A call to a drive shaft shop would most appropriate as it seems likely it will require custom work to get it necked down to fit the U-joint s.

I have a heavy duty custom unit at 3.5".  I had to change to larger drive shaft loop to get it to fit my application (of course not everyone runs one of those...).
