Default Front Drive Shaft

I tore the boot on my front drive shaft this weekend,( stick,stump or something)anyway I called the dealer today, they said the boot was not serviceable. I had to buy a new drive shaft, $272. Long story short, what's a good after market d.s. to get? I want to buy from a sponsor on JK forum.
I have an 07 rubicon unlimited with a 4'' lift and 35's

Thanks in advance, Howdy

if you have a 3" lift or taller, your driveshaft hit your auto tranny and you will need a new aftermarket shaft as they are narrower. je reel, coast and teraflex all make good shaft. if you are running 35's or smaller, all you'll need is a 1310 shaft.

i'm sorry, i'm working off my phone and can't see your specs. anyway, it must have been something else that tore your boot p go figure. in any case, a 1310 is all you'll need and something like a teraflex shaft should only be about $400.

I noticed that I killed my front DS this weekend, so that will be on my to-do list in the near future. Right after I told my wife I wouldn't buy anything else for a while...
