I just looked into precision u-joints and found this on another thread
I read a guy with a 600 hp truck who did sled pulling was ok with his u-joints i just need verification these are right for an auto truck?
Rear driveshaft 2 Piece precision (takes 3) Precision #295
Front driveshaft Cardan H joint (takes 2) Precision #232
Front driveshaft @ front axle (takes 1) Precision #235
Front Axle U joints LEFT AND RIGHT (takes 2) #464

Nick,
Some of those part numbers have changed since I wrote that a long while back.
Best thing to do is just buy the complete front driveshaft as an assembly.
Also go to www.rockauto.com and find the correct u joint for your truck.

There are several companies that make heavy duty u-joints, but I don't know what fits our trucks. You can check out Dana Spicer or Ox U-Joints and see if something will bolt up. Good luck and let us know what you find.

Dana Spicer or Ox U-Joints = both not out yet
and on rock auto there are many choices, i really have no idea what to use cuz many of them say premium or high strength??

My vote is for Dana Spicer. I only run them, the Ox and CTM are for off road use only. They are not designed for constant use. Unless you convert the front end to manual hubs.
then again i have been known to be wrong.
