Shaft Opinion
I set my front caster to 7 degress and by the wonderful noises my front drive shaft makes, i believe it is time to upgrade....
I am looking for the best boom for the buck for a front shaft...Heavy Duty and best price.... And eventually I will change the rear
What do you guys like the best

I've got JE Reel 1350's that I got from David at Northridge. 1310's work fine but as I plan on a blower, Hemi or diesel down the line I went with larger 1350's.
JE Reel and Tom Woods make good driveshafts. I know TF and RE also offer them (1310's I believe) and I've heard nothing bad about them.
BTW, 7 degrees is a lot of caster. I don't believe you'll be able to run an aftermarket driveshaft with that much caster. My stock DS could handle 6-6.5 but I had to dial back to 5 for the 1350's. To clarify, they can do it but you lose smoothness on the highway.
