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.

I like to buy things once, so went heavy duty with sealed joints, that way I am covered down the road if I decide to go bigger.

The "you need a 1350 drive shaft for 37"+ tires" thing that you see on manufacturers websites is marketing. It costs very little to make a 1350 over a 1310.
Now, I must add, if you want to buy a driveshaft, call Adams directly. James Adams himself will probably answer the phone and he will know exactly what you need. I paid $444 shipped for a custom length 1350 shaft minus pinion yoke. The best part was that it was installed under my jeep 48 hours after calling him.

I just called them directly and that's the price they wanted. That was minus pinion yoke which is probably $80, I already had one. Still pretty cheap.
Northridge and quadratec really jack up the price. I paid more for my 1310 tom woods from quadratec.
Buddy got 1350 front and rear adams for right around $1000, but I think they were running a deal.
