Default Looking into Tom Woods Driveshaft

Ready to purchase a Tom Woods driveshaft. Quadratec has the 1310 readily available. But here's my question...

On the Tom Woods website they ask that you measure the distance from the lip of the flange to the transfer case output so they can ship you the correct the length. However, as already stated, Quadratec appears to have driveshafts readily available...

Now, my JK is a 2dr auto with about a 4" lift. In your opinion, should I purchase from Quadratec or do what Tom Woods says and then order directly through Tom Woods?

Thanks!

Either specify a Neapco or Spicer U-joint or go with Coast or J.E. Reel who give you one of those two brands with the driveshaft.

I had the same question. I spoke with Tom directly about it and he wanted me to take off the stock driveshaft to measure. To me that was to much work just to measure. I'm still running the stock shaft with 5" lift. Quadratec probably will have the best answer.

You don't need to take the DS off to measure. There are directions on the TW website that how you where to measure, takes on minute. With a 5" lift it would be good to measure.

I would agree with taking the measurement and speaking with Tom directly.
