    Hello, all Pearson here,

    I have read enough opinion here to understand that the Spicer U-joints are the choice of most members here. All good in that regard but which one is the best? My research, though viewed in momentary pauses throughout the day indicates that there are at least three made by Spicer for my Tacoma.

    I have called Spicers Tech line only to find that they are in training of some sort and unavailable for consultation so hoping someone here has reference. I am like most the guy that will spend a few dollars more for a premium version if it offers more meat etc.

    So short and sweet; what all do they offer that will work properly in my stock 2012 Tacoma Prerunner 2.7L? 2x4? What is the diff one to the other? On this, I would appreciate part numbers etc.

    I am of course replacing all three u-joints and the driveshaft carriage bearing. If you have reference to an all "Spicer Brand" Package deal, that priced right this info would be much appreciated as well.

    Many thanks, Pearson

    Hello all, today I ran up on these guys who are Dana Spicer dealers. I found them to be quite knowledgeable about their products (Spicer) with very competitive pricing.
