iagree too! But hey...be careful not to tear that axle seal during you R&R or you'll be pulling all apart again.

I agree... go with Spicer. Just replaced the ujoints and the hub bearings on the 2006. I'm going to regret not doing the ball joints at the same time but they're in good condition. A good amount of anti-seize on the hub bearings will make that job much easier.

if it were mine, i would go with non-greaseable spicer joints.
it seems the greaseable joints just don't last.
only my experience. your mileage will vary.
