Spicer joints are the only joint. They have a kit that has every joint. All you need is a centering ball and you can do them all.

Sealed Spicers for the front axle. If you're referring to the driveshaft u-joints, I personally think that servicable ones are the better option there.

Do the sealed spicers on the axle shafts. I researched those joints for a couple weeks when I rebuilt the front end of my jeep. General consensus from the people who actually have experience: sealed spicers.
