Best Source for Front Driveshaft?
Looking to replace my current front driveshaft. Suspension will be stock height soon so I don't need anything custom. Stock with grease-able U-joints would be fine.
What's the best resource for something like this?

eBay. I bought mine 4 years ago from an eBay seller in Wisconsin who had years of experience fabricating driveshafts. It's still going strong.

I purchased one recently from a U.S. vendor and the flanges at the front axle did not sit flush because the centering boss on drive shaft flange was too tall and bottoming out in the axle flange counterbore. If I hadn't been paying attention, things could have ended up warped or mis-aligned.
Thanks. Checked out ebay and didn't see any with grease zerks. Will keep looking.
Had a Tom Woods on my last truck with an OME 2" lift. I just don't think the cost is warranted on this truck with a stock suspension.

I've been running the Lucky8 one for a few years now with no problems.

I would go for the British parts of Utah driveshaft, as theirs has a needle zerk fitting for lubing the centering ball as well as the u-joints and slider. However the Lucky8 shaft is half the price and i've seen and heard nothing but good stories about it. Can't go wrong either way and you know you are buying from a reputable company that will stand behind it either way.
