you looking for HD aftermarket or OEM? If OEM seeing how you have no model or year listed letalone the axel size I would have to say go to a boneyard.

You mean the front axle u-joints? If so, I'd go with non-greasable Spicer joints. Don't add any extra grease on installation. These are what the factory puts in, and they usually last a long long time. Both my trucks have all original u-joints.

if you wanna shell out the extra cash, and i mean a lot of it, CTM u-joints are probably the most bulletproof you can buy. axleshafts usually break before these babys do, but theyre really expensive, and you have to buy chromoly shafts with them too

here is their link. http://www.ctmracing.com/

I don't know if they are sold cheaper anywhere else, but I do know that they are pretty much indestructable. My buddy has a rockcrawler running 40"BFG Krawlers and hasnt broken them yet.
