Default Rebuilding front axle

I am fixing to put new axle u joints, bearings, seals and ball joints in my front axle and was wondering where was the best place to buy these parts. I kinda want greaseable axle u joints because i ride in alot of mud and water. Also feel free to offer any tips or tricks? Thanks in advance.

I usually try Autozone then Schucks first just because their prices are best. Then, If neither of them have what I need or if I need some knowledgeable advice I definitely go to Napa.

I'm running 32x11.50 Buckshot Maxxis mudders and I mostly play in mud/water. I want the greasable so i can push the water out. Do you think they will hold up to that size tire?

They will be fine. I ran greasables for years on my TJ and never broke em. I ran 33's and lockers. They are not as weak as they are made out to be.
