Default is new drive shaft and spicer U-joint need or worth it?

im going from a 10 bolt 2.73 to a 12 bolt moser with 4.10 and eaton posi unit... was wondering if the Spicer U-joint was needed and if the drive shaft was needed... this car is will be pushing over 500 rwhp in another 8 months or so.....

thanks guys

I got a strange 12 bolt 2 months ago and they told me to use the Spicer U-joint ( it came with it). It's made to fit with that yoke.

Spicer U-Joints and a Better Driveshaft are a definite!!!!!!!!!!!!
I Put a Bigger Steel Driveshaft with Spicer Joints in it last winter when I did my 12Bolt/4.10 Conversion last year and have not had a problem with them so far, I put a whippin' on them at Norwalk in October and they were holding up great, 6,000RPM Launchs with Nitto DR's and Huge Burnouts all day and pullin' the tires off the ground!!!!!!!!!! She's still holding strong!!!!

Get rid of that Stock Aluminum Crap DS, I know a couple of people that blew them to pieces!!!! They Suck!!!!

Good Luck!!!!
