Default Driveshafts

Putting front and rear driveshafts on a 3" TF LA lifted 4dr. I've heard different shops tout different manufacturers for a CV style shaft, Tom Woods, JE Reel, Teraflex, and Rubicon Express. Any real difference between them?

Just installed another set of Coast 1310 HD shafts and they are perfect.

Remember in a good quality driveshafts like coast, tom woods and Je reel everybody uses the same parts it really is how well the weld it together and balance it.

Judging by what you're selling; you apparently felt it was necessary to upgrade the shafts. Was this due to your running the 37s?
