    I install them with the slip joint closest to the Tcase mainly becuase it helps keep it out of the muck

    Be interesting to know why they say to put it at the front.

    Logic would suggest that putting it at the back up out of the muck would be better, but then there is the other point - with the joint at the front, the join between the two parts is facing backwards, but if you put it at the back, the join is now facing forwards, where the muck is more likely to be forced in. Of course if you have an (undamaged) boot on it, this is less of a concern, either way.

    I would have thought,without looking at any it needs to be where all the movement is,ie diff end.Thats why they have gaiters to protect the joint.
