Default Drive Shaft Question
Would it be a waste of money to purchase a Woods drive shaft front and rear for my JK if I plan on upgrading the front and rear axles to Dana60's. Currently have a 35/44 setup?

if you think you have a Dana 35 front axle I have to question why you're buying Dana 60's? Which 60's are you planning on getting? Are you getting 60's in a month or are you getting them next year or 3 years from now?

Yes it would.....and if your JK isn't a Rubicon then you have D30/D44 setup if stock axles....

You would just have to have them shortened and new yokes on the axle side but a 1310 is fine with tons if you are properly geared.

I would go straight to 1350 and not mess around with 1310s. Dirtman is right though and gearing means alot... Heres my 1310 I broke on 38s and 4.10s. I broke all 3 of the u joints.
