Precision makes what they call SuperStrength U joints. They come is two kinds greasable and non greasable. If you ever have snapped one, you know they break at the hole in the "cross" for the grease zerk. The greasble SS one have the grease fitting in the end of the cap. The non geasable one are solid, very strong, but not sure how long they would last. I guess you are supposed to take them apart and grease them?? I have had good luck with the greasable SS one in my ol Chevy. It's lifted with a health 454 and has an appetite for u-joints. These last considerably longer. I use the non-greasable ones in my demo cars, never broke one, but they see no real miles.
That being said alot of other companies make high strenth ones as well. I just have used precision as they are available locally. I have heard Spicer are the way to go. When I put new ones in my dodge I am planning on them.

I'm running Neapco's in my 2000 right now, not enough miles to say good or bad. Got another set to replace the worn out ones in my 1st gen. But I will say the precision joint I had in there when the yoke broke didn't break, but it had pitting on the cross with less than 25,000 miles on it.
Are you the type that's going to crawl underneath and grease them or are you going to forget about it?
If your not going to crawl under and grease them on a regular basis then I would recomend you run a non-greasable joint because the seals are much better and will do a much better job of keeping the water out of the joint.
