You don't really need to consider 1350s unless you are running 37s or larger behind a Hemi, or larger than 37s (i.e. 40s) on a stock engine.
those Tuff Country drive shafts are super expensive

I recently replaced both front and rear OEM drive shafts with Tom Woods 1310s. They are art-like in construction and craftsmanship, and are hell-for-stout. Mr. Woods himself spent a half hour on the phone with me and answered every question I had before I ordered (it's worth mentioning that at the onset of the call, I told him I was still shopping him against his competitors, so no guaranteed sale).

I don't think I'll ever run another drivetrain in a Jeep or truck.

My tom woods 1310 front was the first thing I did to my jeep 4 years ago. I thought that I would have to replace it, or at least the front slip yoke with a 1350 after going to tons, ARB's, and sticky 40" trepadors. It's been holding up great.

My point is, dont buy into the "if you wheel it hard, you have to get a 1350" I put my driveshaft through more abuse than most, and it's holding up great. Literally all I have done was grease the ujoints every 6 months.

Honestly the only reason I went with a 1350 rear is because nobody makes a 1310 yoke for a 14 bolt.
