99 2500 u-joint help

hi guys, ive checked my rear shaft u-joint, i wanna store 2 or 3 in case i need a replacement... I found this code on both T-CASE to RR SHAFT and RR SHAFT to RR DIFFERENTIAL: SPR (on one side) P9 CB (on the other side).
I cant find u-joints with that code...can guys help me? what joints my 99 needs? spicer or others are better?

FRONT SHAFT to FR DIFFERENTIAL has this code: SPR 509

thanks all for any help!

rob

The factory joints on the 99 are a Spicer, I believe the p/n is 5-801X. I don't think you'll find many others that will outlast it. Nothing else has a seal that will keep out as much moisture.

i know they have that triple lip seal bs, but still dont understand why they wear out so quick, imo spicer are a stronger joint if u get the cold forged ones but as far as outlasting id say no way. i grease them everyother oil change and they have lasted a lot longer then the spicers.
