A few Dana35s got an odd-ball yoke that took a 2-4800 u-joint.     In the picture above (left to right), 1-0153, 2-4800, 2-0054.   Specs:   1-0153 (5-153X Spicer) (Commonly found in all Jeep driveshafts): Cap Diameter: 1.064 Width/Height: 3.228 Body Thickness: 0.703   2-4800 (Found on some Jeep Dana35s) Cap Diameter: 1.064 Width/Height: 3.640 Body Thickness: 0.896   2-0054 (Found on many 1-ton trucks): Cap Diameter: 1.191 Width/Height: 4.186 Body Thickness: 0.981       Common Wheel Joints   Older Jeeps mostly have 1-0174 as the wheel joint. However newer Jeeps, and all Jeeps with ABS got the larger/stronger 1-0297 wheel joint.     In the above picture (left to right), 1-0174, 1-0297, 2-0053.   Specs:   1-0174 (5-260X Spicer) (Commonly found on older Jeeps): Cap Diameter: 1.064 Width/Height: 3.101 Body Thickness: 0.585   1-0297 (5-297X Spicer) (Found on newer Jeeps) Cap Diameter: 1.092 Width/Height: 3.211 Body Thickness: 0.829   2-0053 (Found on many 1-ton trucks): Cap Diameter: 1.191 Width/Height: 3.625 Body Thickness: 0.889   This picture shows the difference between a 1-0174 (left) and a 1-0297 (right).         This is a work in progress, more will be added soon...
