Pleased with my lucky 8 one. Maybe 20,000 km.
Just my 2 cents.

Are you referring to your driveshaft? I think I'm going to order from them

I also have the lucky8 ds. I got mine for under $180 with the flush zerks on the caps. If I remember correctly. This one said no more than a 1.5" lift though. I have no plans on lifting, it's tall enough for what I do.

Just rebuilt mine this weekend. My suggestion? Buy the one from Lucky8.

Your description fit mine to a "T". Got a Lucky 8 prop shaft and installed it tonight. No more clicks, thunks and whatevers. Looked at the old one, one of the bearing caps at the rear end of the shaft was missing a 1cm chunk.
Thanks!!
