This is great information. I don't foresee going off-road much so I think this would be a great option for those that only do the occasional off-road trip.

I put one of our L8 front shafts in my older D2 with a 3" OME lift that I only used Off Road. Never had an issue with it. Keep them lubed everytime you change the oil and enjoy.

Excellent. Ordered one today. I'd rather get it now than get a transmission later. Thanks guys.

Only advice I have to say is stay away from Tom Woods.

I ended up with the ll8 one and so far am happy. Also noticed the non-greasable centering ball, but my OEM also didn't have greasable, and I went over 100k miles.
