I would buy U joints only from NAPA. All the other chain store sell junk. I just replaced a U joint on my truck with a NAPA part. Little more expensive but Spicer joints are mentioned to be stronger.

It's a lot more than just the u-joints, but I have heard good things about the Hi-Angle drive lines on CK5. If your going to put a big lift on it they are suppose to be the best way to go.

the truck has a 6inch lift i was just wondering if anyone had used those ones i see on 4x4 sites and stuff that are advertised as being stronger or lasting longer or the high angle ones. just was wondering if it is worth the extra cost.

thanks for the info
