About this kit
CV Drive Shaft, fitment-checked
This XJ Cherokee CV drive shaft (Rough Country 5084.1) fits 4WD models with the six-cylinder automatic and the NP242 transfer case, running 4 in to 6 in of lift. Collapsed length is 28.25 in, extended is 32.75 in. A slip yoke eliminator is required. Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty 4WD applications are also listed.
Three qualifiers decide whether this XJ shaft is the right part: the six-cylinder automatic drivetrain, the NP242 transfer case, and a slip yoke eliminator already in place. Meet those and it suits Cherokee 4WD builds running 4 in to 6 in of lift. Collapsed length is 28.25 in, extended is 32.75 in, and the shaft carries upgraded cardan joints with roughly twice the strength of the original. The fitment table also lists Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty 4WD applications, so check your model line there before ordering. Budget 2 to 3 hours for the install.
