Might be quicker than waiting on a national B/O.
That's what I was thinking too. I've called a few local off road shop too to see if they had one. Most the DS they replace the boot is already messed up.

I have the 3.5 max flex and had to replace my front DS. The rear is fine. Like stated before. Using your control arms to adjust your pinion angle is the secret to keeping stock drive shafts. Before I got a Pro Rock 44 with caster built in it was a battle of drive shaft angle and too much castor.
