About this part
CV Drive Shaft, fitment-checked
A front CV drive shaft for 2018–2026 Jeep Wrangler JL 4WD models with the Dana 30 front axle, aimed at builds with 3.5 in or more of lift. It measures 36 3/8 inches collapsed and 39 1/2 inches extended. Rough Country 5090.1A does not fit other front axles.
On a JL Wrangler, a lift of 3.5 in or taller puts the factory front shaft at risk when the suspension reaches full droop — that is the problem this replacement is built around. It fits Dana 30 front axles only, so confirm your axle before ordering. Collapsed length is 36 3/8 inches, extended is 39 1/2 inches, and the shaft carries upgraded cardan joints at roughly twice factory strength. Grease fittings are routed clear of the transmission pan. The swap runs 2 to 3 hours, and Rough Country publishes a downloadable installation guide for it.
