Does anyone have an opinion about which u-joint conversion kit is better [of course, I am going out on a limb here thinking that people on this board might have an opinion ;) ]?

I am considering either the one from Atlantic British or the one from Dap. On the surface, they seem to be pretty much interchangeable, except for the price difference. I have a '95 Disco with a 3" lift. Thanks for your help!

well 279.00 is less than the 400 ab price, who knows if they are the same? i went with the 88-89 rrc shaft and a flange kit, a rovers north kit is only 69.00 or so, so good luck whichever way you go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep in mind that quality might be an issue. A couple people posted about having a shop create the roto shaft for them and they got vibes. Anything you do twice is one time too many and usually costs more. I paid $349 for my AB kit, they provided fantastic service and tech advice on the phone, the kit was at my door in two business days, had everything needed, and has run smooth up to 75mph for a month now. I'm not saying any other kits are crap, because I know a lot of companies have good reputations here. Just letting you know I was happy with the AB kit and the company in general.
