WOD 1350 Driveshaft Builder Kit
WF03000
The WOD 1350 Driveshaft Builder Kit is designed for builders who need a strong, reliable driveshaft solution for custom off-road vehicles, Jeeps, trail rigs, rock crawlers, and lightweight buggies. Built using genuine Spicer 1350 driveline components, this DIY driveshaft kit allows fabricators to build a custom-length driveshaft tailored to their vehicle's wheelbase, suspension travel, and drivetrain configuration.
The 1350 series remains one of the most widely used driveline platforms in off-road motorsports because it offers an excellent balance of strength, articulation, weight, and serviceability. The optional 2.5" x .250" wall DOM tubing provides exceptional resistance to dents, torsional twisting, and rock damage while allowing builders to create a driveshaft tailored to their exact application. For complete driveline performance, many builders pair this kit with a WOD 1350 Carrier Bearing Shaft Builder Kits, WOD Single Ended Carrier Bearing, Spicer 1350 Universal Joint & U-Bolt Kit, and matching Spicer 1350 Yoke 1.5" x 10-Spline to create a fully integrated driveline system.
Wide Open Design also offers complete 1410 and 1480 driveline systems for builders requiring additional torque capacity and strength.

Tech Insight
What U-joints work with this driveshaft kit?
This kit is designed around standard 1350 series universal joints. We recommend genuine Spicer 1350 Universal Joint & U-Bolt Kits for maximum durability and performance.
Is this driveshaft kit assembled and ready to install?
No. This is a DIY builder kit intended for experienced fabricators. Final tube cutting, fitment, welding, balancing, and assembly are required.
What tube size is recommended?
Most off-road builders choose 2.5" OD x .250" wall DOM tubing because it provides excellent strength and durability in harsh off-road environments.
Is a 1350 driveshaft strong enough for rock crawling?
Yes. The 1350 series is commonly used in Jeeps, trail rigs, recreational rock crawlers, Ultra4 Sportsman vehicles, and lightweight buggies. It provides an excellent balance of strength and driveline angle capability.
What other components are commonly used with this kit?
Most builders pair this kit with:
A 1350 driveline is ideal for most Jeeps, trail rigs, and recreational off-road vehicles. Builders running larger tires, heavier vehicles, or higher horsepower combinations may benefit from a 1410 or 1480 driveline system.
