if you have adj rear upper arms, you can get the d/s and cv angles better aligned.

i believe i had already covered this but, once again, you will know you are in trouble when the CV boot tears and it start spitting out grease. when you start hearing it make a ratcheting sound, you are done.

only on the pinion end but not the output shaft end and that's where it will fail.

It's not really the cost because as most of us know, by the time you invest in suspension, tires, wheels, etc. the additional ~$150 for each 1350 shaft is not that significant.

I honestly just prefer to pick the weakest link and I like the larger max operating angle.

Maybe in another 15-20K miles when I learn the limits of the JK drivetrain I would consider going to 1350s.
