Edit: oh and when I said no other way I meant no, other way I see where it was frustrating

Need a part number for the u-joint on the drivers front axle shaft. 1990 Larado 4x4.

Neapco # 1-0297 isn't even close to being right as I've discovered.

Default Dakota rear springs?
I have a 96 XJ lifted 4 inches, its been a real gas. Havent drove it more than 50 miles since lift put on.
The latest problem is one of my rear springs broke and now the passenger side is moved foreward.
I have extended shakles and im wondering what srings should i put on the rear.
I thought i read in here that Dakota springs are the way to go, is that true? If so, what year springs will work?
Please help.

Neapco 1-0174 is the part # if you don't have ABS. I recommend the "Brute Force" line.

if your spring is broken, a bastard pack with dakota leafs will do you no good. How are you lifted 4" in the back? Shackles and blocks? that would explain why your leaf pack broke.

You need to either grab two sets of springs from the JY (stock and dakota) and make a bastard pack, or just buy some new lifting springs.
