YJ/CJ Narrow Diameter Double Cardan Front Drive Shaft

Upgraded Jeep CJ/YJ front drive shaft with narrow diameter and double cardan (CV) joint. Shaft is built using a narrow 1.25" diameter tube to enable clearance around transmission pan or other obstruction that prevents you from using a normal 2" diameter shaft. The double cardan design is best for applications where the front shaft cannot be disengaged and is spinning all the time. A double cardan yoke uses different bolt hole spacing than a u-bolt or strap and bolt style yoke. If you do not already have a double cardan compatible yoke on your transfer case you will need one, you can select which yoke you need below. 

Shaft is not to be used with shackle reversal spring setups. If you have a shackle reversal, call us. 801-737-0757
