Product Details

This double cardan style CV drive shaft is essential for Jeep JK models fitted with 3.5″ – 6″ short arm suspension lifts or 2.5″ – 6″ long arm suspension lifts. It features a replacement flange for the differential pinions rather than relying on an adapter flange, with the flanges machined from solid billet steel. This design allows for compatibility with standard off-the-shelf mating flanges, ensuring that if they ever break, you can source a replacement part from nearly any driveline shop. The shaft’s length ensures the centre of the universal joint is closer to the pinion bearing, which is important after lifting your Jeep JK Wrangler. Using a CV (Double Cardan) drive shaft can help eliminate vibration issues and provide durability. It also comes with Brute Force Red seals and high-quality CV joints, and the grease fittings are strategically placed away from the transmission oil pan, thus ensuring effective grease delivery without mess. Note: This drive shaft does not fit 4-door (Unlimited) models.
