I know I'm probably going to have to install a new front drive shaft sometime relatively soon since my boot has been torn off for about 8K miles now. I have a 4" Rancho lift 1/3 of the way installed right now, and am planning on running 35's for the foreseeable future. What front shaft should I replace my soon to be squeaky stock shaft with and what length? So far, I'm thinking a JE reel or a tom woods. I was doing a bit of browsing and I noticed that the Rubicon Express ds was far less expensive, anyone know why?

bump for the am guys

 

X2, I ordered mine from TW last night.

 

X3.... Tom Woods....

 

the re shafts are made by a company down in socal that does good work. i have used them on several occasions to have shafts rebalanced. don't know why they would be cheaper but, i would imagine they would do the job well.

 

Call tom woods . They have great customer service and guanantee the shafts. Shipping is free.

 

Take a look at the coast 1310 shafts also. They use all USA Parts come with two new yokes and you dont have to measure anything.

Tom Woods for sure!

 

Does not include the adapters or flanges. These little bits in the descriptions kinda give it away...

For use with part number RE1801 and RE1807

Works with part #RE1805 flange adapter

The Woods and Reel shafts come with everything you need.
