I have read or seen posts on Woods driveshafts. Seen where people refer to either a 1310 or 1350. What are the differences? And what one would you recommend on a 3" teralift? Have 35" KM2's etc. Can the stock driveshafts last awhile? Thanks

Je Reel 1310 for 35's should be fine. The woods shafts use Chinese joints.

I'm doing a 3 inch zone with a coast 1310 IMO you should be ok with a 1310 and 35's if ur doin a lot of wheeling 1350 is the better choice but I think moderate wheeling/daily driver your ok with a 1310 hopefully someone can confirm or deny my statement

Also recommend JE Reel. Agree that 1310 should be fine, but 1350 if you ever want to do 37's or larger.

You can get the Woods shafts w/Spicer 1350 joints if you ask for them... no up charge either. Never heard of any issues with anything other than the aforementioned goldcup joints.

With stock axles and 35's I would go with the 1310. I would rather have the u joint break rather than axle parts. I don't think you need to change the rear driveshaft now. I would just do the front.

I run Woods driveshafts on my rig. Spicer 1350 in front and Spicer 1410 in the rear. I probably should have went with the same u joint front and rear, but I don't want to change it now.

Size. A 1350 is bigger than a 1310 and is therefore stronger than the latter. I should note, the one u-joint that your factory front drive shaft has is a 1330 which is bigger than a 1310 too. A 1310 will get the job done for less and with 35's, you should be fine with it. I personally would not recommend a Woods if only because he uses Chinese joints of which I have personally seen fail time and time again. There are plenty of other good drive shafts that will come standard with made in the USA Neapco or Spicer u-joints like JE Reel and I would recommend you give them a look.

Thanks for the info guys. Sounds like I will check out Coast most likely. I will probably wait till I do 37's and maybe do gear changes with new driveshafts.
