Yes I agree. I went to o'reillys and a guy there took his time to find me a correct u joint. Pulled out a micrometer and measured and gave me a couple options on joints other then searching on a computer for a part number. O'reillys had Awesome customer service.

Just bolted everything in place. Went around the block and went down a highway. Everything seems to be working fine and it drives smooth. I just got to remember to grease those bad boys next time lol.

Not sure of the part number. I had to put my stock ds back in while advanced driveline fixes my rubicon express ds. And why is it that with my stock ds my jeep rides so smooth and my rubicon ds I get vibrations even after I got adjustable control arms?

Could the RE ds be bent or tweaked a little? That could explain the difference ur feeleing and the joint failures...
