I had no problem with their springs or hanger kits though.
To each their own. I've run it for around 3 years now and don't have an issue with it.

Greasable parts are only any good if a person actually greases frequently...... Spicer is Oem and the damn things last forever.

Greasable is best suited for offroad where they are subject to water/mud/sand and typically in a lighter and less powerful vehicle. Thats my take on it anyways...

Lol... no... Tell my 05 that... 187000 mIles on the original front end greased every 3000 to 5000 miles loaded to near gvwr (8600 lbs) it's entire life on a split of shitty broken highways and beat lease roads built on a swamp... People just don't ever grease anything... and thus it wears out. If you aren't a lazy *** and actually get under there with a gun in any frequency its amazing how long parts last.
