give Tom at Carolina Driveline a call. Not local, but his prices on driveshafts are still less than getting one local even after shipping. Tell him Kirby sent you and he will knock off a few bucks. 866-742-3848

I run Tatton's front and rear. He's just down the road from Tom Woods, equal in quality but a bit less expensive. 801-685-0056 Same deal as Kirby... if you tell him Chris from JeepAddOns sent you he may give you a bit of a discount.

I had Cincy driveline make me a front shaft for my rig. I told him I used it for rock crawling, and to make it strong. I also told him I needed a lot of slip in the shaft, and a cv joint.

They used that thin tube, which I destroyed, and a wimpy cv, that's destroyed, and the female end of the spline is only about 2" deep, so my shaft wobbles real bad. Personally, if you want a tough shaft, don't go there. I have better luck buying my own parts and doing them myself. They aren't balanced, but I don't drive it on the street.
