Coast Drive Shafts
I've seen several members mention it, even some with an auto. I'll leave it to folks to do their own searches if they're really interested. Here's one thread I already had bookmarked.

i've run a set of coast 1350's on my JK and still run the front now. the spacers make it super easy to install but you do need to be aware that if you have a 6-speed, you will need to have a 1" body lift in order to clear the t-case shifter cable bracket and even at that, some minor grinding of the bracket may be required. in the rear, the u-join is quite large so it and the spacer on the pinion will make contact with your gas tank skid plate when flexing. no big deal but it is something that i think you should be aware of.

If you have a good shaft builder in your area, check them out too. I got mine custom-built and installed for about the same as the other after-market builders want just for the parts. So far no complaints.

Now that I have been actually searching to buy, why is Tom Woods custom built to size while JE REEL list 0-6" of lift.
Are the Tattons and coast shafts just a generic size as well or custom ordered?

The reason coast does not have to ask for a measurement is we took measurement on a ton of JK's a few years ago and have all the measurement figured out. Coast also uses the upgraded long slip shaft so it has a large amount of travel.
