No experience with the Alloy USA U-joints?

Not to hijack, but it's relevant, I guess.. Just how strong does a person want to go for a front axle joint?
Durability, as far as long-lasting, yes, but as for strength....

What I mean is, if you go with the strongest and best, when you do something that will cause carnage, will a super strong u-joint not just cause something more expensive to grenade instead?

As long as it doesn't tear the yokes to pieces (which, I suppose, it often does), I'd sooner the u-joint break than anything else.

I just have a stock 97 TJ on 31's so the spicer is the better way to go than the Alloy USA? D30 with 4.11s

ok, thats fine. It was originally used the dana 44's back in the day. I agree it is what it is, and i wish they would have made rubi 44 beefier end to end, instead of just the center.



FWIW, i dont read quadratec catalogs, i got past that crap about 8 years ago. Now i know what i want, not what "looks" cool in the catalogs.
