    Mine is shot. It's 1000 series ujoints, 1 1/4" diameter tube. I figure finding a good used one is impossible. The drive shaft players want me to switch to 1310 yokes telling me the small stuff is not available. What are others doing? Thanks

    I switched to larger diameter tube & the 1310's. I was able to get the differential & transfer case yokes from Herm.

    Do you have a lift? At stock height, the starter is very close to the driveshaft.

    Yes, no lift, none planned. It can't get bigger in diameter or it will hit the starter.

    I went with Tom Woods. I am in the same situation, no lift and no room for anything bigger. Not cheap but it's good equipment.
