## Overview

The Rough Country Rear CV Drive Shaft (model 5075.1) is a heavy-duty, double cardan style shaft designed for 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ models with 4-6" suspension lifts. It features adjustable length from 14.25" to 17.75", upgraded CV joints twice as strong as factory parts, and premium seals for enhanced durability. Compatible with Dana 35 and Dana 44 rear axles (with some transmission restrictions), it requires a slip yoke eliminator and comes with a limited lifetime warranty, ensuring long-lasting, vibration-free performance on and off-road.

## Description

This double cardan style CV drive shaft is recommended for Jeep TJ Wrangler models equipped with 4" - 6" suspension lifts to prevent driveline vibration and the rear output shaft from breaking. After lifting your Jeep TJ Wrangler a CV (Double Cardan) drive shaft is a good choice to eliminate vibration issues and provide the longest lasting drive shaft. Shaft strength is twice as strong as the factory equipped drive shaft (running length 16.5"). Includes Brute Force Red seals and better quality CV joints. Note: Fits Dana 35 rear axle models with automatic or manual transmission and Dana 44 rear axle models with automatic transmission. A Slip Yoke Eliminator is REQUIRED. Recommended on models with 4in - 6in of lift. Does NOT fit Rubicon or Unlimited models. Does NOT fit 1997-2002 models with 4cyl engine and 3-speed auto transmission or 2005-2006 models with 2.4L 4cyl engine and 6-speed manual transmission.

Review: Fit perfectly for a 4 inch lift - Slid right in and gives you the bolts for the transfer case side. Went into my 97 tj with a slip yoke eliminator kit. Will update after I wheel it
Review: Fit 2005 TJ with 3-4” lift - Fit great. Paint was a little iffy but meh, it’s a Jeep.

## Features

- Collapsed Measurement: 14.25" - Extended Measurement: 17.75"
- Replacing the Drive Shaft after a Lift can Eliminate Vibration and provide Long Lasting Drivetrain

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for a 98 tj with a 4in lift, i love it!!!
*by L***N on September 23, 2018*

I share my jeep with my ex (I'm Not a cold heartless person) and he had found this drive shaft for my 98 jeep wrangler tj. It is absolutely perfect. I have a 4in suspension lift kit on my jeep and this fits perfectly. Even tho my transmission is slightly higher because of my new belly pan it does not rub on any part. I love it so much!!
