I would look at 1310 shafts instead of 1350's

We have not had a 1310 fail yet even with 35's and a Hemi.

Check out the coast 1310 shafts they are made with all USA parts and they are made in California.

High Angle Driveline is good to, have not had them for the JK. But i had custom shafts made up for a 2001 F350 Dually with 11" of lift rolling on 38's. Great shafts, very smooth and held up. Had 600 hp and had no problems.

I had the same question and Dave suggested these. I got them for the front and rear on my 4.5in lift with 37s and I have not had any issues.
