Driveshaft U-joints for high HP.

[RED LS1]

I just picked up a new 3.5 inch Sportsman aluminum DS for my car. It came with new U-joints but I'm wondering if there is better hardware for for the 2 straps and bolts that hold it to the pinion. The DS company said to just use stock replacement hardware.

Anyone find hardened straps and bolts? I thought I had bought them before somewhere but I can't remember.

If you're making serious power and want the best, go with Spicer 1350 u joints. Might also want to think about forged yokes, both ends.

Denny's Drive Shafts comes to mind, but there are many other sources....

If your using the original 8.5 rear end I have a 1350 pinion flange that will fit it.
