1350 CV Drift Shaft worth the extra $

[Patenter]

I'm about to order a rear CV drive shaft for my 4" short arm lifted 2003 Rubicon-- should I spend more for a 1350 shaft?

Yes. I tore up tons of 1310 cvs with my TJ. TONs.

Went to a 1350 and never had another driveshaft problem.

Yes but your Jeep is a beast.

I installed a 1350 CV from Tom Woods and all seems good -- thanks for the input.

And inversely, from 31's thru sticky 39's, I never blew up a driveshaft until this past weekend.

I wedged the rim into a crack that angled left and I turned right. A small blip on the throttle and it blew the CV apart.

At this point, I'd do it again and in fact did. Swapped in the spare and was rolling in 20 minutes.

Would I rather blow up a CV or a rear axle shaft?
