About this part
CV Drive Shaft, fitment-checked
A CV drive shaft for 1987–1993 Jeep Wrangler YJ 4WD built around 6 in of lift, measuring 17.375 in collapsed and 20.875 in extended. A slip yoke eliminator is required. Rough Country 5078.1.
This is the YJ-specific shaft in the Rough Country CV line, sized for Wranglers running 6 in of lift. Collapsed length is 17.375 in and extended length is 20.875 in, so measure your current setup before ordering. Upgraded cardan joints handle the steeper operating angle a lift creates, and the shaft is rated at twice the strength of the factory piece. A slip yoke eliminator must already be installed. Most owners plan 2 to 3 hours for the swap, and the downloadable installation guide walks through the sequence.
