Hi, This place is in the UK, but it will show you whats around for purchase, they do ship world wide, but I would "assume" you guys can get them a LOT cheaper over there.
I like the look of the heavy duty ones as they have more bearing contact area..

THANKS. I didn't check NAPA. I'll swing by there today. The roversnorth one didnt seem to have fittings.
BTW, do I have to do anything else besides replace the u joints? I saw that there is a donut repair kit and some other stuff. Is that just needed if they are samaged or are there additional components that wear?
Thanks again!

The $250 I paid was parts and labor for the rebuild. It ran me $18 (literally) to install the driveshaft back on the truck (I was about to get on the highway and didn't want to be dirty...yuk!).
Just FYI so folks have an idea what to pay...

Make sure when you have the u-joints replaced that you also replace the centering ball kit or you will have another failure real quickly.
