So, for those of you that have (or will have) 4" lifts - what drive shafts do you recommend?
thanks,

On an Unlimited, you don't need new ones, not right away anyway. The stocks will work fine unless you are planning to go really hard in the rocks. Now, if you just want to change them, i think most are using JE Reel, but I would get Tom Woods myself. I've spent some money with TW on some custom shafts andthey are well worth it.

on a 2 door, get a 1350 for the rear and a 1310 for the front. you don't need a 1350 for the front, and a 1310 will give you more room to move vertically with the smaller knuckle.

what was your reasoning for choosing a 1350 over a 1310 for the front drive shaft?
didn't the 1350 seem like a bit of a tight fit with the angle, or was it not a concern or not seem excessive?

I'm not sure where everyones getting the tight fit from? theres plenty of room. its the same driveshaft, just bigger U-joints if I'm not mistaken... I've been wrong before. I'll do some checking and report back.

yes, the u-joint is bigger, making it a tighter fit at that u-joint - less room (tighter) in the vertical angle at that joint.
maybe i'm just overthinking this. i'm getting ready to put a 1310 up front and a 1350 rear. i'm just waiting on them to get here.
is that a bend in your control arm?
