I jsut tore my boot this weekend, and am in the market for a new front now (screw OEM)... But really dont understand the diffrences between all the ones out now (1310 vs 1350, ect..)... Can someone give me some advice... Highest lift I am ever going is 3" TF Coils and 35"s...

Ive been rolling around with no boot on the front for months. I dont think a torn boot alone is reason enough to get a new drive shaft. I mean, im going to get a new one eventually any way, but the torn boot wont even hurry me.

Just check and make sure they fit on there w/o a lift.
Yeah they will fit, i was advised to get the 1310 CV shaft, so I think I am going to go that route....

I am not concerned, but when the time comes that I need the new one, I'll be buying the 1310.

Of course, when you DO decide to get a new one, I would suggest going with Coast. I just got a rear driveshaft from them and it is very nice and they know their stuff.
I have been driving without the boot for over a year and no problem.
