I'm running Coast 1310s front and back and have no complaints. Great shafts in my opinion. I have a 2dr on 35s with a 3.5in lift.

I have a 2 door and plan on purchasing Coast 1310 when I need new shafts.

The debate of "china" vs "us" joints is due to the following. Certain companies have cheaper shafts by using a cheaper u joint that is stamped "made in china", and in turn there was a rash of people snapping u joints because of cheap construction from cheap materials. Spicer, regardless of where it's made now, is known for using higher quality materials, an an overall better product. They are an American company as far as I know.

This is why most people shy away from other u joints, quality control on material quality is weak.

I'm running a Coast 1310 up front and still running stock in the rear on my 2012 JKU.
