no brainer, spicer. google six states trucking if you can't find a local dealer. six states also sells new dana strap kits with the bolts for $6. remember you need to have the driveline balanced afterword. the half shafts you do not.

If you have an automatic you don't drive hard there is a good chance you don't need to take the driveshaft out. When I took the driveshaft out the u-joints looked like new with nearly 200K miles on them. I would have put it right back in if it wasn't such a pain to get the thing out without taking loose the C-beam. You know the driveshaft does't move much at all so there isn't much to wear the u-joints.
I just had to look at the driveshaft since the second set of half-shaft u-joints were going in.
