It eliminates the "rag joint" at the steering box and replaces it with a "real" u-joint. It's easier, IMO, to just buy a replacement u-joint for the stock shaft from Flaming River or another aftermarket manufacturer.

"You would have to measure the shaft. If it is a DD shaft measure on the round ends. If you have a spline shaft, measure the diameter and split the shaft in half and count the splines then double the number to get the complete count."....... This is what i was told in order to order a U-Joint

This the Borgeson joint I used. If you do a quick search, it should be pretty easy to find a part number for the Flaming River joint, as well. Or you can use any joint with a 3/4" 30-spline on one end and 1" double D on the other.
