you can get the spicer 760x's from rock auto for about the same price as parts store brands.

x1,000 on the Spicers. When I use to run a 10-bolt in the front I tried two different brand part store joints in the axle and they would last one or two trail rides, and driveshaft u-joints seemed to wear out in 10,000 miles on myh lifted daily driver. Finally went to Spicer joints and ran for years on my front 10-bolt with no issues and the driveshaft joints lasted much longer.

I busted 3 of 4 of the caps in the first one so out of frustration I'm going to pay for the first time to have them done. B&T in Milford will use Spicer.
