so i replaced my u joints when i did my ball joints. I didnt realize that they were not long enough till i got the whole thing assembled. They are working for driving around town but will not hold up offroad. I have been to a bunch of parthouses and they all have the wrong parts listed for the jku d44. The only place i have found them is on amazon. (Spicer 5-7166x) for $45 each. Ouch! The mopar replacement is around $90 each. Anybody else have this problem before?

4 wheel parts seems to be high priced also.  I haven't had to change mine yet.  I'll probably just upgrade the shafts when that happens.

Um...what?
