Default Where to buy dana/spicer axle shafts

Looking to do the 297 U-joint upgrade on my dana 30 disconnect and I need dana axle P/N 75589-1x (95 or newer Wrangler ABS). Anyone know of a place with decent prices where I can get this? The best price I found was around 220. Seems a little pricey when I've heard they can be had for around 140 or so.

Me too, but I have a better chance of you giving me your Jeep, than finding a 95+ Wrangler at my local J/Y's

Who says the shafts have to come from a Wrangler?
Any XJ, or ZJ Dana30 shaft will work. All ZJ's with regular u-joints used the 297/760 joints and 95+ (IIRC) XJ's used them as well.

95 and newer Wranger with ABS are the only axle option if I want to retain the disconnect feature and gain the 297 size u-joint. All other disconnect axles used the 260 sized joint.

That makes no sense because TJ's never had disconnect axles. They ditched that with the YJ and went one piece.

Frank, he's not wanting a one piece, non disco shaft, he's wanting the outer axle shaft from a 95-96 YJ because they had disco AND the 297 joints.
