I've got the solid spicer joints (Spicer # 799) but all of my spicer joints are heat treated. I have neapco joints which are just as good if not better for $28 a joint.
Spicer changed their design and now use a plastic seal which often breaks upon installation and allows dirt to get up into the caps and causes premature failure. The Neapco joints still use rubber seals.
