I'm really confused about using a "yoke" or a "flange" on the axle when choosing a new drive shaft. Also, seems that double-cardan joint is the preferred choice for vehicles with larger tires.
Right now I have the stock drive shafts and I just noticed the lip of the T-case front output is bent. It's a good chance I did that while dropping the front axle for a coil spring swap. So as I'm finishing a swap to a taller 4.5" lift (from current 3.5") I see this as a good time to upgrade to 1350 HD drive shafts. But I don't understand the benefits of choosing to keep the pinion flange or swapping to a 1350 yoke on the axle ends.
Can someone comment on this?
For reference, I have:

Teraflex short arm 4.5" w/37s but might eventually go to 40s.
