No idea what driveshafts you are running but if the are stock, they sure aren't 1350s. In all likelihood, the are 1310s.

This is for the axle shafts.

I believe this is right. The Mopar P/N is 68476678AA and is the same as the JKs and JTs. F'in Mopar lists these at $166!

I utilize CTM Racing 1480's on my Jeep JLU.

I ditched the u-joints in favor of RCVs.

But for the most part I go with spicer joints when I use u-joints

I do have a M210 & M220 set up.
I am looking for the the front axel "U" joint.
Thanks for the mopar number.
Does anyone happen to know the Spicer number....

Thanks again for all the input.

Looks like 57166X is the Dana-Spicer number.

I did not know the axle shafts were 1350 u-joints. I assumed they were 1310. I have a spare axle shaft u-joint just in case and assumed it was the same size as all of them. So, to clarify my drive shaft is a 1310, and my axle shaft is a 1350?

Factory driveshafts use Rzeppa joints for 3 out of the 4. Both outputs on the transfer case and at the rear axle. Front axle has a flange that accepts a 1310.

Pretty much every truck has stronger axle shaft joints since the differential multiplies torque and there is a lot more stress at the knuckle because of it. Apparently the factory has 1350s at the shaft.

I went aftermarket on my driveshafts and have 1350s. Double cardan joints at the transfer case and a similar flange on both axles that accept the bigger 1350 joint adapter.

1350s with Tom Woods driveshafts.

My front drive shaft is a double cardan with 1310's.
