Driveshaft Question

So i just put a 4" lift on my 2011 JKU with Automatic trans.
From what i understand with this much lift i need to upgrade the stock Front Driveshaft.
My question is will i be ok with something like this?

http://www.coastdriveline.com/NEW_JK.htm

Will this prevent rubbing and handle the angles?

OR

Would this be a better choice

Im new to this and from what i know they will both get the job done, they just look like they are attached to the Driveline in Different ways.

The coast says it just bolts onto stock location without special tools.
For the JE Reel would i need any special tools?

Any input would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!!

Both companies make good shafts but, if you go with Coast, make sure to NOT get one that uses the adapters. This will actually increase your drive line angles and be more of a problem. Trust me, I have run one and, while you can make it work, I don't recommend it. Just get a standard yoke setup.

I have the Coast 1310 with 0 complaints. However, I will bump up to the 1350 when I go 37's. Not a necessary upgrade, but just a lil piece of mind for myself. Like Eddie mentioned as well, JE Reel makes a terrific DS. I just went with Coast. I doubt there is a strength difference. Im sure the prices are around the same as well.


If you can't walk my beat unarmed, maybe you should consider becoming a police officer.
