Broke my drive shaft today
Running down I-40 close to Memphis I broke my driveshaft 
My u-joints are wearing out quick and I'm not sure why. Stock springs, not much angle, but pulling some heavy loads though.
Anyway I am having a new driveshaft made. Any cool upgrades people commonly do? Larger u-joints? Better yokes? I normally run spicer in my jeep stuff...anything better?

Oh yeah, I always go for the zerks! These only last 3k miles so something was definately wrong. I could feel it vibrate before it broke but I thought I could make it if I went slow.
