The WOD 1410 Weld / 1350 Slip Driveshaft DIY Builder Kit is a hybrid driveline solution designed for custom off-road vehicles that need a 1410-series weld yoke on the fixed end while retaining a 1350-series slip assembly. Built with genuine Dana/Spicer driveline components, this kit allows fabricators to build a custom-length front or rear driveshaft matched to the vehicle’s wheelbase, suspension travel, axle position, and drivetrain configuration.

This mixed-series setup is commonly used when adapting existing 1350 driveline components to a stronger 1410 weld end, completing a custom drivetrain swap, or upgrading only part of an established driveline system. It is well suited for rock crawlers, trail buggies, one-ton Jeeps, and custom chassis builds where an off-the-shelf driveshaft will not provide the correct component combination, finished length, or suspension travel.

Includes:

(1) Genuine Dana/Spicer Weld Stub
(1) Genuine Dana/Spicer 1410 Weld Yoke
(1) Genuine Dana/Spicer 1350 Slip Yoke

Important: This is a DIY builder kit and does not come assembled. Final measuring, tube cutting, fitting, welding, balancing, and assembly are required.

Optional Components: Driveshaft tubing and compatible U-joints are available separately.

Universal Fitment for Custom Driveshaft Fabrication

Common Applications:

Rock crawlers
Trail buggies
Off-road race vehicles
One-ton Jeep builds
Custom tube chassis vehicles
Front driveshafts
Rear driveshafts
Multi-piece driveshaft systems
Custom drivetrain swaps
Builds using mixed 1410 and 1350 driveline components

This Configuration Is Commonly Used When:

The axle or pinion end requires a 1410-series weld yoke.
The drivetrain requires a 1350-series slip assembly.
An existing 1350 driveline is being upgraded without replacing every component.
Additional fixed-end strength is desired while retaining an existing 1350 slip configuration.
A custom drivetrain combination cannot be matched with a single-series driveshaft kit.

Fitment Notes:

This is a universal builder kit and is not supplied for a predetermined finished length.
Confirm that the 1410 weld end and 1350 slip end match the corresponding drivetrain components before ordering.
Measure the vehicle at ride height and through the full suspension cycle before cutting the driveshaft tube.
Confirm sufficient slip travel at full compression, full droop, and maximum axle articulation.
Verify compatibility with the transmission or transfer-case output, axle yoke, pinion yoke, carrier bearing, and U-joint retention style.
Confirm driveshaft operating angles and available chassis clearance before final welding.
Final welding should be completed by an experienced driveline fabricator.
The completed driveshaft must be checked for runout and professionally balanced before operation.

Why use a 1410 weld yoke with a 1350 slip yoke?

This combination allows the driveshaft to use the larger 1410-series joint at the fixed end while retaining compatibility with an existing 1350-series slip assembly. It is useful for mixed drivetrain setups, partial driveline upgrades, and custom swaps where both ends do not use the same U-joint series.

What is the advantage of the 1410 weld end?

The 1410 weld yoke uses a wider universal joint than a 1350, providing increased torque and shock-load capacity at the fixed end of the shaft. This can be beneficial in heavy off-road vehicles that place substantial load on the axle or pinion-end joint.

Does the 1410 weld end make the entire driveshaft as strong as a full 1410 system?

No. A hybrid driveshaft remains limited by its weakest component. The 1350 slip yoke, tubing, welds, U-joints, operating angles, spline engagement, and connected drivetrain components all affect the capacity of the finished system.

Which U-joints are required?

The weld end requires a compatible 1410-series universal joint, while the slip end requires a compatible 1350-series universal joint. Verify the mating yokes and retention style at both ends before ordering components.

Does this kit arrive assembled?

No. This is a DIY builder kit intended for experienced fabricators. Final measuring, tube cutting, fitting, welding, balancing, and assembly are required before installation.

What driveshaft tubing is recommended?

Many off-road builders use 2.5" OD x .250" wall DOM tubing because it offers strong resistance to dents, torsional deformation, and rock damage. Final tubing selection should also consider finished shaft length, operating RPM, critical speed, vehicle weight, and available clearance.

How much slip travel should the driveshaft have?

The required slip travel depends on suspension geometry and axle movement. The slip assembly must remain safely engaged at full droop while retaining enough compression travel to prevent bottoming out when the suspension reaches full compression.

Can I weld the driveshaft without balancing it afterward?

No. Even a carefully fitted and welded shaft can have runout or weight imbalance. The completed driveshaft should be checked for straightness and professionally balanced before operation to reduce vibration and protect bearings, seals, transfer-case outputs, and pinion components.
