Default drive shaft, u joints

hello. I have a 06 quad cab, auto, 4X4, long box with a 2 piece rear drive shaft. At 87 k the rear joint starts squeaking so I change all three. Three days later the center joint decides to explode at 3am in the morning I replace the joint for the second time to find there the after market joint to big the get the lock in tight. it goes in but not tight. do I need to get the deal joint for proper fit ? what about a 1 piece? any ideas out there

I'm thinking about trading her in on a Fxrd ... HELP

Try a different bad of center bearing. 3 u joints at 87k is not bad for maintenance.
