Up until now I've always just used c-clip 297 ujoints on my stock Dana 30 axle shafts running 31 inch tires, open differential, and 3.55 gears (AW4 transmission). Never had problems with ujoint failure...just normal wear and tear and periodic replacement. Fast forward to the here and now and my jeep is being regeared this week to a 4.56 ratio with a detroit truetrac replacing the open diff. I will probably be going to slightly larger tires, 32's, when my current 31's have worn out.
My question is: do these moderate modifications point to the use of ujoints with full circle clips? Or, keeping in mind I have no plans to go to bigger tires than 32s or 33s or to a full locker, am I OK continuing with c-clip ujoints?
