Description

These are our premium driveshafts. We use only domestically supplied D.O.M. tubing and full length splines. Compared to others, this provides far more spline surface contact which makes these parts last longer. These work better with our long travel suspensions because the driveshaft is able to travel in and out of the slip yoke farther. The tubing is smaller in diameter and has a thicker wall. This gives added clearance when you are in the rocks. They come assembled with U-joints and constant velocity joint. They are balanced and ready to install. Please provide working measurement for best fit.

How do our Extreme Duty driveshafts compare to common OE and imported shafts?

*Our 1310 series u-joints have the grease fitting in the bearing cap for easy servicing, most others do not. They also carry the best manufacturer's warranty in the business. If you ever break/fracture a universal joint (as opposed to failing from lack of maintenance or failures caused by connecting to damaged attaching yokes) your drive shaft would be repaired or replaced at no charge to you. This is a manufacturer's warranty and not a sellers warranty.

*Our custom forged slip yokes are about twice as strong as OE. We use a solid plug for keeping contaminates out and for correct grease flow.

*Our splined shafts have forged steel splines with a wear resistant coating. The full length splines have twice the contact area with the slip yoke for added life span.

*We only use DOM tube which nearly doubles the yield and tensile strength when compared to CREW (cold rolled electric welded) tube.

*All CV components are manufactured by Spicer, Neapco or one of their affiliated companies and are selected for the greatest flexibility in the drive shaft without compromising strength.

*Also included with every drive shaft purchase is the service tool for greasing the center pivot point of the CV assembly.

Please refer to the measurement instructions and other considerations on the Driveshaft Category page .

Ordered a custom length rear HD driveshaft and it fit perfectly! Process was seamless as most of my WH purchases. The only negative was the chrome paint and it seems to have been packaged still wet, not a huge deal overall.

Rock solid drive line.

Well built shaft! Looks and performs as promised. Package didn't fare to well during shipping and the grease zerts were knocked off 2 of the 3 cups. I had spares so no biggie to remove the broke ones and replace.

Tom Woods shaft comes with a great reputation. It is certainly much better than my worn out stocker, lol. Looking forward to putting it through hell.

Great product

My stock driveshaft broke on me a few weeks ago. I ordered this one as a replacement after reading reviews on Classicbroncos.com. It was a perfect fit and so far has performed well. Shipping was quick and it was packaged very well.

Ordered item # 8581 33.5 drive shaft. Upon arrival I inspected the item and found a problem. After dialing Wild Horses they answered the phone promptly with a live person and directed my call to sales. They were familiar with the item, sent a replacement right then. I am very pleased with the quality of their product and service.
