Default Front drive shaft

Well, after reading the "weird chirping noise" post yesterday, I greased the front and rear shafts on DII. However, I have read horror stories on this and I have convinced myself to replace the front shaft with a fully grease-able version. I am looking for one that's already balanced and ready to plug and play. I am also on a budget, I know that I get what I pay for, but have a budget of around $400. Thanks in advance for the assistance.

I installed a Lucky8 front drive shaft and no problems thus far. Straight forward - out with the old and in with the new.

@VTRover- Did you replace the bolts when changing out the drive shaft? Order anything else to replace when you purchased the drive shaft?
