Front Drive Shaft

[c20040215]

After 80,000 miles, my front drive shaft boot finally gave in. I am about to replace it with an Adams 1350. Its about $110 difference compared to 1310 on Northridge 4x4. I know there is an article by Tom Wood about why they suggest going 1350 instead of 1310. I want to know what you all went with and why? And what brand?

For context, I am on 37s + stock wheels with a plan to go 38s + beadlock this summer. Rubicon D44s with 4.88 gear and pretty much everything is beefed up. Truss, gusset, chromoly shafts etc.

I went with the 1350s for reliability on my 23 Wrangler Rubi

I went with 1350s because I have a diesel putting out almost as much torque as my 97 F250.

But I would still go with 1350s for any JL engine. I've seen too many broken 1310s on the trail in all kinds of rigs to consider anything less than a 1350.

1350 for sure. Adams is a far superior brand in my opinion. Forged yokes, forged slip and stub. Dana u-joints. Incredible customer service. You can’t go wrong.

We are still running stock on the JLs but have had great luck with JE Reel on our JKs.

I did some research on JE but I could only find grease version. Do they only make greaseable U joint? I try to avoid greasing as mush as possible.

I recently added the Adams Driveshaft Extreme Duty Series OEM Flange Style Front 1350 CV Driveshaft with Solid U-Joints, as well as 2 spicer u joints for my front wheels, and have been extremely pleased with the difference in the last 2 weeks on my 19 Wrangler Rubicon.
