Tom Woods, Coast, JE Reel, and Tatton. And a few lift mfg's like TeraFlex, etc, sell them also. Do a little searching for reviews and see what you come up with. Regardless of who you choose, you should spend a little time on Woods website, lots of good info in the Tech area there.

Take a look at trailmasters driveshafts from what I've seen they are good and cheaper then Tom Woods which everyone says are excellent. There are alot of manufacturers who are importing them, so do your research. There are relatively few component manufacturers out there so find out where they are having them made.

check out Ballistic Jeep. Best price I have found so far and have a lifetime warranty on the tubes. I think front and rear are $598
