You don't want to use the Spicers in the AAM shafts.
They're .010" too large and they bind the joint.
The only way to use them in a stock shaft is to machine .010" off either the end caps or the circle clips.
All of AAM's stuff is odd ball size.
Best bet with those is ordering the AAM joints.
The only other ones I've seen fit good are the Autozone Gold's and Neapco's.
