Pretty sure OEM are spicer.

 

Son of a b!tch...something else I "need" now.

 

I've been known to have that effect on people

 

Yea that SPD exhaust is my next purchase.

 

Thanks for the reply y’all! A little steep for that awesome carrier bearing upgrade for me at this time Rey.
Looking for something more equivalent to stock parts at this time. R-Rod

 

Right?! I might have to unfriend Rey; his behavior is unbecoming of a boring fiscally responsible adult. Either that, or I'll end up sleeping on his couch after getting kicked out by my better half...

 

Right on!

 

In response to the OP, I believe the parts are Spicer parts like @AZBoatHauler mentioned. I'm 99% certain that the entire rear driveshaft is a spicer part; 100% certain the front driveshaft is. Spicer has a pretty good name in my book - not the best, but great for the money and average user.

Note that sometime around '17 they stopped putting greaseable zerk fittings on the u joints. I like to be able to grease them, so I would look for greasable units.

 

Much appreciated thanks!

 

Does the yoke need to be removed that same as an OEM replacement? This is a pretty bomber carrier!

 

Correct

 

Found some replacements online that can be lubed unlike the original parts.
$60 out the door!
We’ll see how long they last.
If not then I’ll have time to save up for OEM replacements.

 

Looks like all the parts from spicer would run about $150
