I've got a question for you guys. Mine is a daily driver but when I do go offroad, I do some pretty intense rock crawling. Should I upgrade to 1310 or 1350's? Is there that big of differance between the two? Sorry if it's a dumb question but 1310 & 1350 is just a number to me. I would think 1350, obviously because it is a higher number and more expensive. However, is it really worth the extra dough and how much longer will it last? I have no idea, please advise. Thanks!

This may sound like a dumb question but here it goes. These appear to be the same length as the stock drive shaft. Is that true? If so, is the only reason we are replacing these the slip yoke? I'm just wondering if these drivelines will address all of the problems, pinion, length, slipyoke ect....

I don't know about JK factory but TJ shafts which are similiar to the JEReel shafts do not need the boot. It is a dust/moisture barrier. If you take care of your equipment(keep it greased), it isn't needed.

There is no boot, but there is usually a seal in the cap of the female section of the slip joint. It is also splined to match the male section of the joint.
1. Large diameter of the stock shafts allows for contact with the automatic transmission umder extreme axle articulation.
2. Perception that stock CV joints/shafts are weak.
3. Easier repairs if a stock CV does break on the trail.
