Heard great things about both brands. The difference seems to be price. Dont see much else. Are you looking at upgrading the driveshaft or the axles?

One is cheaper and has free shipping. They are both equal other than the price.

Are you asking if your driveshaft will scrape?

I myself have a Driveshaft shop one, a friend of mine bought the shaftmasters, Quality is pretty similar, the Driveshaft shop one seemed to have slightly better fitment IMO and the only other difference was that the Driveshaft shop one has regreasable U joints. Either way they are both exceptional quality, go with what your budget allows its better than the stock one and lighter than the steel one

Regreasable u joints? do you mean you could just slap on some grease on there and your good to go? Anyways, shaft masters has 1310 series replaceable, high performance, American made u joints, should they ever fail you.
