I went to a double u joint shaft in my CJ7 (GM steering system). The pros out weigh the cons to me. The only con (for some) is you will get more "road feel". By going to u joint shaft you take out that insulator of a rag joint. but
I don't notice any vibrations just a very positive steering system where I can feel somewhat where the tires are and going through.
