Look here for the sizes! I always have to go a driveline shop to get mine as auto stores don't carry them (Spicer). Avoid anything but Spicer!
I'll just quote myself. . .

Where are you located? You need a semi-truck axle/driveline shop. They are located in industrial areas of cities. Or just order from the link I gave.

I'm located in Massachusetts i usually do order from those sights like the one you gave but the other guys above you said it's smarter to get it from a driveline shop instead of online but the prices for online parts say otherwise

Haha, get them wherever you want to!

All we recommend is that you stay with the OEM Spicer sealed joints for the best results.

You can go to the local parts store to verify the sizes you will need. it helps if you measure the old joints (cap dia, cross section sizes). then go online and buy the correct spicer joints. Like mentioned, only by spicer joints.
Front axles shafts are easy - 5-760X
The driveshaft (front/rear) sizes can vary, thus the measuring...

5-3226x is the axle shaft joint for the 1500. It has the needle fitting in the cap so you can grease it once it's installed.
