What U joints should I run for the rear driveshaft?

99 Cherokee Sport. I pulled the rear driveshaft and the u joints practically fell apart. I'm doing a flex-plate and it had to come out anyway but I'm glad I did. I imagine that it would be best to put Spicers back in but wanted to check with the gurus first and see what everyone's experience has been. Thoughts?

Get the Spicer non-greasable ones. Can't recall the exact number at the moment.

EDIT: 51310X

Any that are at least actual OEM quality. Other ones that are cheaper... you get what you pay for...and even when properly greased won't last as long.

All I see anymore is the Mexican and Chinese made ones.
Sadly even on my last project, I got half USA made Moog and half Chinese in the box.
Must have been mid-change over.

I believe you need two for the rear driveshaft and 3 for the front.
