Caught the Bug
So everywhere I've read, this is the replacement for u joint for rubicon and g2 axle shafts. But I've read I want full circle clips. The ones pictures are normal ring clips. Anyone have a different part number if theirs one that comes with full circle clips?

You can easily just buy a pack of full circle clips for them and do it that way. That's what I did.

As far as ujoints that come with full circle clips already, I can't think of any off the top of my head. I would deff get the spicer joints tho

Circle clips are clips that hold the u-joint cap from slipping out of the yoke on an axle shaft.
Full circle clips tend to hold onto the cap much better, and don't work them selves loose.
A large majority of broken shafts are caused by the cap coming off, and then breaking the ears on the shaft.
