I am now on my 3rd driveshaft and 2nd PTO of the summer. My driveshafts keep stripping out on the engine side of my sportster , I keep it greased but the rubber bumper keeps getting shredded while it wears on the inside Of the shaft the same way, but the impeller end is like new on all of the shafts. I took it into a shop and they said it was aligned but looking through the hull it looks like the motor is sitting high. Any help is appreciated

Looks like an alignment problem, I'd ck it myself, I stopped trusting mechanic shops a long time ago.
 
I see several for sale on e-Bay. Where are you located? There are rentals in parts of country as well. My motor was WAY low when I checked mine, which makes sense as motor mounts sag over time. I used almost an entire pack of shims from SBT to get it lined up.
