TJ Rubicon CV Rear Drive Shaft

Rear drive shaft for Jeep TJ or LJ. Only fits Rubicon model.

TJ Rubicon rear drive shaft vibrations are virtually guaranteed on any TJ Rubicon with 2" of lift or more. Because these shafts are so short, every 1" of lift adds nearly 4° of angle to the drive shaft! All that added angle will cause Rubicon stock rear drive shafts to shudder and vibrate. The solution is to run a double cardan (also know as a CV) drive shaft. This will smooth out the power flow by splitting the angle between multiple joints. In order for this type of shaft to work correctly however, you may need to adjust the angle of your rear pinion using adjustable control arms. Click the link below for more details about proper pinion angle.

Fast shipping and perfect rear shaft for the Rock Link Pro Long Arm lift. Smooth and should last a long time with the greaseable joints.

Ordered original with the 1310 flange, realized it was a different output yoke on my application. Called Tom Woods and they had me send it out and had it back under the Jeep in less than a week with the right 1310 yoke. Awesome parts and support!
