Question Front drive shaft recommendations

Just had a service at dealership. I went to grease fittings and realized front drive shaft seal is starting to spray. Was looking at Tera Flex shaft since I have TF lift & control arms.
-Any pros/cons of the TF shaft.
-Any other recommendations.
-Any dos/don'ts for installation.

SPECS 09JKU on 35s with TF 3" lift & adj. arms, & 1" body lift.

May I suggest a Coast 1310? Ive read and done my research on it and it seems to be a quality driveshaft which should last many miles. Teraflex is fairly new to the driveshaft world, so there isn't much on them that I know of...

I've been running a Coast 1310 and am very happy with it. I've run Coast and JE Reel on the rear , the quality on the Reel shaft is great too I think either would be a good choice.
