So i recently bought a front driveshaft for my 98 jeep wrangler, 4.0L, and it didn't come with any hardware to install it. Is there any place recommended to buy some?
*My Jeep didn't come with a front driveshaft because the front and rear have different gear ratios*

Are you referring to just the bolt up hardware, assuming the driveshaft included the double cardon joint.
 
Spicer has the u-bolt strap kit which includes everything needed for the front, you need the 1310 size kit for your 1310 size u-joint. For the bolts closest to the transfer case that pass through the yoke and screw into the driveshaft's rear double-cardan joint, the official factory size is .312-24x1.170 which translates to 5/16-24 by 1 1/16" long. Go for a Grade 5 there.

for the diff side; you can get u-joint straps from just about anywhere. Spicer part is 2-70-18X

For the transfer case side; see Jerry's note above. A quick google search suggests the OE part number is 6036415AA.
