well itll be regeared later on down the road, its getting lifted and whenever i have the money itll be procharged...i get nasty wheel hop as it is so i figured that might help the drivetrain out a little bit, id rather go through the autizm zone ujoints since theyre free after 1st set than a few tranny mounts ya know? and my SK tore up a new trans stock replacement trans mount...not to mention my heavy foot at times

what is an SK?? and i wouldnt think you would need an aftermarket bushing.. i would NOT get cheap U-joints.. get some spicer joints.. you will be sorry when a u joint lets go and the shaft hits the gas tank and exhaust and beats up all the underside of your truck.... sometimes it will even damage a trans or rear end....

Sk is a shift kit, mines set up for street/strip useage, no torque management either so it frickin slams, anything over 1/4throttle will bark on the 1-2 on 33s with the vette servo not installed yet. as for spicers, id love to get em or solids but i cant find the part # for the steel driveshaft just the aluminum...as for cheap u joints...well i went through 6pairs in my old 90, then when the one set let loose i shattered my driveshaft in 3pieces n did some transfercase damage, def dont want that happening to this truck...as for aftermarket bushing dont you think id be better off since i tore up a stock replacement? n well be rather safe than sorry?

also you need to get something to fix your wheel hop.... like some ladder bars or something...
something like this that will not let the axle rotate under acceleration

when you take off your pinion is probably shooting up causing excess wear on your drive train and eventually will kill your U-joints... and could be why you are tearing up the trans mount.. if i were you id find something to keep the pinion angle stable..
