Also I chose to go with more comfort since it seemingly takes those rag joints about 20 years to die. Maybe less if you put a ton of miles on your truck.

The upper u joint on these does have some sort of rubber dampener where it goes over the shaft. So I am sure this absorbs some of the vibrations. I know this as I considered just shortening this shaft instead of collapsing it some.
