Lots of threads on this topic if you search. They all seem to end up in a pissing match.

driveshafts are driveshafts bro. What you need to look at is who has them with a good u-joint like spicer or neapco(sp). From what I've read a lot of people have good things to say about je-reel and coast. And I do believe those come with spicer u-joints. Tom Woods shafts comes with crappy chinese joints

I've got Coast front and rear. The only issue I've had was a U-joint going out after about 12,000 miles. But other then that I am happy with them

My vote is Adams drive shafts which can be had for $325 shipped. They come with spicer joints. I have had no issues with mine.

Agree with this.

As long as you're going aftermarket with a 1310 or 1350, most will be similar. I have JE Reel, haven't had a problem with it.

Only one I've read bad things about is the Tom Woods, but only on here because of Chinese parts. I've read many others recommend Tom Woods on other forums though.

If you're getting the work done by a shop, just use what they recommend as long as it's a reputable brand.

I will be installing them myself. What's the difference between 1310 and 1350 drive shafts?

A few hundred dollars...

1310 is fine with up to 35's. If going with 37's or larger, probably want to consider the 1350, a little more heavy duty.
