What U-joints are required for this driveshaft kit?
This kit is designed for standard 1480 series universal joints. We recommend genuine Spicer 1480 Universal Joint & U-Bolt Kits for maximum durability.
Is this kit welded and assembled?

What tube size is recommended?
Most extreme-duty applications utilize 2.5" OD x .250 wall DOM tubing because of its resistance to denting, torsional twisting, and rock damage.
