Default Driveshafts?

I'm trying to decide on what driveshaft to get! I need to replace mine and want to know which one might be best! I want something that will hold up and function well!

I have a 2008 automatic wrangler x

The answer to your question is “nobody is the best”. There are a lot of good people making drive lines. You might want to look in to the pros and cons of 1310 or 1350 U-joints. My suggestion for you is to up grade the yokes like in the write-up that way of life just did. You mat be able to save some money and have a local shop make them up for you.

they are made by a company called powertrain in socal and they make pretty good shafts. i have used them in the past to have my shafts rebalanced and rebuilt with good results.
