What are the spice U-joints for factory EB front axles? I'm converting mine to disk and need to replace the U-joints, but can't find the right ones. PLEASE HELP!!!

If you're ever going to put this thing in 4 wheel drive you might as well go to the F150 axles. You can use the short side stock and can have the long side cut down for like $60 or so. Then you can use 297's or 760's or CTM's!

I know that doesn't answer your question. I changed mine out as soon as I got my EB.

if i ever break these I will got to CTM's and either their shafts or warns, but for now I can get the spicers for like $30, so I just need to know which ones they are. Are they 260? thanks

Keep it in 2x if you plan on those stock joints and ears around. Exploded my driver's side the first time I hit the rocks.

260x sounds right. weld the caps and you'll get much better life out of them.
