You can't go wrong with Dirty 30's. Just keep in mind the hub gears will be the next weak link, if a hub gear fails it can wipe out the splines on the hub end. Do it right and break down and get Chromoly inner & outer hub gears along with ARP Hub studs. Then the worries are over..... Unless you break the R&P... Lol...

Right now I'm running trail gear r&p Yukon Cromo shafts inner and outer with super joints trail gear crawler hubs and trail gear crawler hub flanges ohh and a Aussie locker....... I just didn't know if the birfield type joint was better that a u joint type.... The longfields look way stronger that the super joint IMO

Fixed it for you.
When the unjoints fail, they tend to take the knuckle ball with them. I have asset for spares only bc they came in mine when I bought them. Sucks to replace the knuckle ball. I've done it once on mine (hence the reason they are now my spares). Can't go wrong with longs.
