37" tires, Should I get a coast 1310 or 1350 front Drive Shaft?
Of course front one is shot since the boot is gone with 3.5 lift. Running 37 BFG KM2's and don't want to go to big (I like the idea of the DS breaking and not an axle or gears or ??). I am leaning towards the 1310, but wanted some opinions before I spend the cash.
Where is the best place to order the DS once I decide which one to get?
Thanks for the input guys! I can't wait for Moab!

I went with a Coast 1310. When I was trying to decide, I asked a garage that does JK hemi conversions. They recommeded the 1310 as the weak link because it is cheaper to fix than a ring/pinion or axle shaft if it breaks.
I bought mine from Northridge4x4.

I never get to wheel as much as I want. About once a month seems to be the norm except in the winter. Then it's no wheeling, or snow wheeling, which is the same to the drive line as no wheeling.
I am not opposed to paying for the 1350 at all, I like to do things once the right way and be done, but I am not so sure in this case bigger is better.
Going to Moab with my family in the spring with no other jeep's, and I gotta admit, a busted front DS 30 miles out doesn't scare me nearly as bad as a busted axle or R&P.
Anybody else have input? I know it sounds like I made my mind up, but hoping for someone to share any personal experience or advice.

So now I am getting off topic, I have stock arms at 3.5" lift. Do I need to get adjustable control arms?

The double cardian joints on your driveshafts can handle a pretty decent angle before they start to vibrate.
