How come no one makes 1330 DS for the JK

I see all Aftermarket DS makers sell 1310 or 1350 driveshafts for the JK. I am looking to replace my front DS on my Sport JKU with 4.56's, when these tires are done, I'm moving to 35's where I plan to stay But I see that the consensus is pretty divided on 1350 vs 1310 with 35's. Puerto Rico is mostly mud country and I'm kind of lost on this issue...

Go with a 1350seems like a no brainer.

Even though I'm running the smaller R&P on the D30? This is where my biggest doubt is...

You're running 4.56's. Your pinion isn't that small with that setup.

But for your type of wheeling I don't think 1310 would be a problem for you.

As mentioned, the only time the pinion becomes problematically small in a Dana 30 is when you get up to 5.13's or higher. You should be fine with a 1310 but, if you can afford it, a 1350 will be stronger than stock.
