I like Spicer joints. Driveshaft specialists in San Antonio made my drive shaft and that is what they used. They are holding up great.

You can't go wrong with Spicer.
I bought some brute force u joints from autozone or advance auto that were very tough, and low priced. That was a few years ago.

Spicer? Usually Napa. They are made by Dana and sometimes have different names on the box, they all say Spicer on the part itself.

I ran the Brute Force on my old Z-71 and beat the crap out of them on a daily basis with good results.

There good. I ran 11's with a brute force up front and a spicer crossover in the back. They have the red oil seals.
