x2 on Tom Woods... I have seen some TJ shafts, and they are some well crafted, quality pieces. One of the 4x4 magazines tested a set of TW JK shafts and they gave them rave reviews... They are made to order, so they will fit perfectly if you measure properly (shows how on his website).

Just put the JE Reel Canyon Crawlers 1350's front and rear under the JK. The JE Reel have a 31 degree joint and Tom Woods uses a 26 degree joint. I hear more hard core Rock Krawlers use JE Reel, but Tom Woods and his service have an incredible reputation. He is an Icon. Can't go wrong either way in my opinion.

Seems unanimous already but I'll throw in my vote for the woods. Had em on a TJ back in the day. Good stuff. If I ever decide to go big on the JK I'll be a repeat customer.
