I thought you had been gone too longer than that would be practical/possible to keep MI plates. I don't think that plate design you have is availble anymore. Mine look like a 1964 plate.
Yes, I've heard of some guys using a urethane puck type joint. I think the problem is that they can give out suddenly, as they don't have the reinforcing fiber. If you stated aluminum in the original post, I must have missed it. Aluminum certainly isn't going to break.
I didn't specify in the original post. The license plate that's on it is from around 2010, it's only there to keep the HOA off my @$s. I had it for 10 years on the 1500 then MI forced me to get a new one. I guess back there they end up in pretty rough shape after so long. I didn't bother with tags until now because it wasn't a driver. I should have tags here soon enough. Being military I got to keep my MI plates as it's my home of record. No front plate or emissions checks FTW. Shaft is back in and steering felt pretty tight sitting there in the driveway. The body lift does put some strain on the steering box now though, I'm sure it didn't do the original rag joint any favors either.
