Yeah wheels look great!

I'm going to be needing new tires soon. Wondering if I go back to stock and take off the BL or just shell out for the tires. Not sure how much longer this truck will last me.

That'd be my luck, I'd work so hard finding a place to store it now, then move and 5yrs later when I'd go to use it it would be damaged! Lol

Ehhh.... from experience, those aren't very good joints (they are the same as Precision used to be). Blew through those in 18 months.

Neapco or Spicer is the way to roll.

I have to second that. I thought that those would last me but one of them had dry caps and was falling apart in a little over a year. The other was just fine. Not sure what happened but I put a greasable super strength in there to cure my problem.

Ughh where's the best place to buy spicer? I had problems finding the exact ones I needed for sale from a reputable site. I gave in and went to moog thinking they'd be good. Truck curse strikes again

Don't beat yourself up too badly. I did the same in my Mustang when I put the aluminum drive shaft in, thinking "Moog = one of the best choices." We'll see how they hold up to 400 RWHP and 375 lb-ft torque.
