Default Adams driveshafts

Hey guys im going to be in the market for a new driveshaft and just wondering what your guys' thoughts were. I really like the Adams but just wanted to get some feedback about it.

Can't go wrong with Adams. I have a front 1310 from them.

They are top quality driveshafts, and have great customer service. I am running Adams 1350s front and rear and very happy with them. Absolutely no vibrations at any speed.

What size tires are you running ? I was told 35-37 you can rock the 1310's is that accurate?

1310 is fine for 35s. Maybe on the edge with 37s. 1350 might be better, but you have to consider what you want as the weak point in your drive line.

What is the breakover point (lift height) when new driveshafts are needed. Currently on 35's with flat fenders and 1.75 puck in front just to level it out. Started looking at lifts in the 2.5-3" range.

I'm running an Adam's 1310 on the front with 37s with no issues, connected to a rubi D44 that gets wheeled fairly hard. I had 35s when I bought it, but not sure that would have changed my purchase any. I've no plans to go larger than 37s. Need to get a rear now.

If you front shocks are longer than 25" extended and you're disconnecting the sway bar, then you should consider an aftermarket DS.

The JK really doesn't create enough torque to break a 1310 driveshaft. I'd run those with 40s no problem unless you have a motor swap. I've seen everything break on a trail, but I have not seen someone blow a 1310 u-joint on a driveshaft (unless it was from being driven into a rock, which would take a 1350 out as well).

Pretty sure Dirtman is running 1310s on 40s and he wheels the crap out of his rig.

JE Reel was the other setup I was looking at but you can't beat the warranty on the Adams. At least not at the time I purchased mine. Also it seems that the Adams are more readily available....
