Default Front drive shaft for JKU with a 3.5" lift
I want to get an aftermarket front drive shaft.
What brands do you have?
Where did you buy and how much?

After much research I just bought mine from David @ Northridge, he's sold over 3000 drive shafts and knows what works and what doesn't prices are on their website

as mentioned, you can't go wrong with a coast or a JE Reel.

I went with a Tom Woods rear drive shaft and now i am interested in getting a new front one. Is it ok to get a different brand in the front. That might be a stupid question and i don't really see how it would hurt it, but I just want to make sure.

A driveshaft is a driveshaft, as long as it's balanced good, has good quality u-joints such as spicer and you keep them maintained, you should be good to go.
