Anyone running Tom woods DS, looking to replace my front DS of my 2011 2 door Sahara, I have a 2.5 RK flex system and 34" tires 3.73 stock gears. My boot is starting to sling grease. Idk whether to get the 1310 or 1350? I don't crawl mainly use my jeep for DD and mudding at the camp. Any of you guys running Tom woods and what series? Thanks!! :-)

 

I run a 1310 up front on my d44 with 37s. I suggest you do the same especially on a d30. You want that ujoint to go before your gears.

 

Thanks, I called and they recommend the 1350... But I don't think I need that one. Wanted to get you guys opinions 1st.

 

Oh and this was Tom woods, what other brands are you guys running? Is this the best?

 

I'm running a Tatton 1310 front driveshaft with 5.13 gears and heavy 37's. Done a lot of crawling with no issues.

One thing to be aware of is greasing the centering ball Zerk on the dc joint is a real pain in the arse on these aftermarket shafts. You have to pull the shaft to grease this one zerk and it needs to be done like every 3-4k miles. If you DD try to find one that doesn't need greasing there, if it's possible. Dont know if there is such an animal.

 

Thanks, that's what the guy at woods told me too.

 

I just received my front 1310 from Adams driveshaft. I researched many options but a 10 minute phonecall with Kevin at Adams made up my mind. I gave him a measurement late on friday, he built it over the weekend and shipped on monday. They offer a flange or yoke option, as well as greasable or non-greasble spicer u joints and can explain the pros and cons of each. Use the money u save for the next mod. My savings helped pay for an Extreme Terrain barricade rear bumper/tire carrier that i highly recommend a well

Their number is 701-568-5680. Ask for Kevin

 

For a front shaft only I would run a 1310.

I run 1310s front and rear with 37s. Lots of people say 1310 with good joints is more than enough for both.

 

Thanks so much guys!!!
