Hi everybody. I just joined 15 minutes ago and this is my 1st thread. Im building a dana 30 front axle for my 98 xj. The front axle is from a 94 and has the smaller u joints with 1 and 1/16 caps. I plan on re-gearing to 4.56's and a detroit locker. I also plan to use the axles with larger (1 and 3/16) caps from my 98's front end. My 2 questions are... are the axles with larger u-joints from my 98 a direct swap? And whats a good strong u joint to run in them for daily driving and occasional hard wheeling. Im not looking for a CTM or a super joint. A friend told me NAPA super duty's are good but from their part number I think it might be a napa-pakaged "Precision" u-joint made by Federal-Mogul. Also I heard debates that Dana spicer 5-760x is a forged replacement for the stock 5-297x. I guess I have a 3rd question too. Greasable or non-greasable. I tend to favor greasable. But only through the cap as in the cross weakens it. I guess im just looking for opinions. Thanks
