why are you replacing your front shaft on a stock JK?

Although not yet a sponsor here, Tom is a generous sponsor of many 4x4 clubs and events nationwide. He is a real class act.
I've used Tom Woods driveshafts in my TJ, good guy and good customer service.

I did switch to JE reel on my JK, also a good guy to deal with.

Tom Woods driveshaft comes with everything you need. If you order it you have to ask with yokes and TW includes the nuts on to of if.

i need a new front driveshaftas well om my lifted 2 dr x whicdsh has a torn boot
i had the rear replaced with a tom woods by my local 4x4 shop due to pinion angle n stuff and was wondering if the front was a direct bolt on and if there is anything like pinion angle or control arm setttings to worry about can it be done by someone with some mechanical skills? i did install my lift with front n rear adjustable trac bars as well as relocate the evap canister. i have a manual 2 dr x.

I love my woody shafts I have been using Woody's on all my vehicles for years and they have always served me well. Their customer service, and quality of their works are top notch.

I would be more than happy to answer some of your questions.

I hate hijacking threads, but I thought the OP may benefit from my question as well - although I'm not sure what size lift he's running.

I have a 4-door 6-spd and will be running a 3" Teraflex lift with full flexarms. I know my rear driveshaft will be fine, but I want to replace my front with a Tom Woods driveshaft. What exactly should I order? I was on the website and it looks like I need to measure and count the splines and provide them with all the details. Although I am mechanically inclined and can install a product given detailed instructions, I don't know much about the specs.

Is there a standard length for a front driveshaft of a 4-door 6-spd JK with a 3" lift kit that probably yields closer to 4" of actual lift? How about splines, joints, boots, and all the other options Tom Woods requires me to provide him with?

Thanks.

i wonder if one should go with 1310 or 1350 woods front drive shaft - there's quite a price difference
