And is there anything indicating they need to be replaced? I wouldn't bother unless you are getting signs of failure. The originals can last quite a long time. My front drive shaft and front axleshafts are still running original joints that are almost 25 years and 210,000 miles old.

If you need them, for a street Jeep you'll want Spicer 5-1310-X (non-greaseable).
One for the yoke end, which usually wears out first, and two for the double cardan
end if you need to replace that, too.

When I replaced all my u-joints I bought GMB joints with grease fittings, which have worked out great so far. But you can't go wrong with Spicer.
