I'm in the market for two new drive shafts to go with my Teraflex 4" LCG Long Arm for my 4-door Rubi. I'm looking at three brands at Northridge right now: Coast, J.E. Reel and Teraflex. What are the differences between these three besides price? Does one have an advantage to the others?

 

go out to Tom Woods website. Plenty of info, and I think he recommends 1310 for most people unless you are a serious crawler or go above 37's. Haven't seen a reason for the higher price on the Reel shafts, but assuming all 3 have the same attachments (yoke/flange/adapter) they should all be the same. And go for new yokes.

 

i have installed all three shafts several times and have personally run both the reel and coast on my jk's. what i can tell you is that the reel's come with replacement flanges and the coast, replacement yokes. while flanges are strong, yokes will give you better operating angles and this will help prevent driveline vibrations.

 

Ok, now I'm confused. Are the drive shafts I listed not complete? I would need to buy new yokes seperately?

 

So you recommend the Coast drive shafts then? They also happen to be the cheapest in price.

 

no, they are complete and come with what you'll need to install them. the je reels just come with replacement flanges and the coast comes with yokes. the teraflex comes with yokes as well.

 

Personally I love the coast driveshafts .

And yes the coast driveshafts are complete with new yokes.

I have the coast 1310 on both of my Jeeps including the Hemi and have not had any issues.

Ok, well it's settled then, Coast it is. Thanks for the input guys, it's much appreciated.

 

honestly, you'll be happy with the coast.

 

I just got my Coast 1310 delivered today from Dave at Northridge 4x4. Just give him a call and he will take care of you. It looks great and as WOL said you get everything you need to install. I will be installing mine this weekend
