had a bad and short lived experience with one. Might be fine on a stock rig. Once I lifted mine it died in under 2k miles which even non serviceable stock ones survive longer than that..

I've been pleased with tom woods shafts, have them on both my rigs. I'd ask around local and see if someone has a go to spot. I know my buddies who are rover techs in denver have a local driveshaft spot they get all their stuff made. Probably come in between the cheap option and the GBR or woods price but just as strong.

I have the "cheap" Lucky 8 one, mines lasted fine so far (only 2 year at this point) but I don't have a lift.
