Default After Market drive shaft?

My driveshaft went out a few months ago finally I'm able to order one. However, I don't know which one to buy! Coasts, real, Tom woods?

I hear a lot of people talking about getting a Woody (Tom Woods). I am also trying to figure out what to look for when I get a lift in the future cause I will have to replace my front DS.

If you're preparing to move from OEM shafts due to boot breakage, I recommend that you be ready for other simultaneous upgrades. If you don't have upper controls arms, they will be required to make sure that you achieve the right camber. Otherwise, you'll find yourself dealing with a ridiculous amount of vibration.

I can only speak for the coast, but mine is doing quite well. I'm very happy with it.

I replaced my factory front drive shaft with a Coast 1310. I have factory upper control arms, no vibrations, jeep runs great. By a Coast, install it and forget it!

JE REEL. Others may come in at different price points, and others may be more appealing to vendors (because they can be made for less) so they get pushed or promoted more. But no other driveshaft manufacturer knows more about heavy duty, off road oriented, get you home after a trail driveshaft than Jim.
