Description

Part #: 5093.1A

Built for Lifted Jeep Performance: Get the most out of your Jeep with Rough Country's Front CV Driveshaft, engineered specifically for JL Wrangler Rubicon and Gladiator JT models running 3.5in lifts or greater. The factory front driveshaft is prone to binding and damage when the suspension is flexed to full droop, limiting off-road capability and long-term reliability.Corrected Geometry at Full Droop: Rough Country's upgraded Front CV Driveshaft is designed with an optimized collapsed and extended length to maintain proper driveline geometry throughout the entire suspension cycle. This eliminates factory driveshaft damage at full droop while delivering smooth, dependable power transfer on and off the trail.Strength and Durability You Can Trust: Featuring upgraded CV joints and a heavy-duty shaft built to be twice as strong as the factory unit, this driveshaft is made to handle aggressive terrain, larger tires, and increased suspension travel. Smart grease fitting placement allows proper lubrication without interference from the transmission oil pan, keeping maintenance clean and simple.

Features:

  • Optimized Length Range: Collapsed measurement of 36 3/8 inches and extended measurement of 39 1/2 inches to support proper fitment and suspension travel.
  • Full Droop Protection: Eliminates factory front driveshaft damage caused by binding at maximum suspension droop.
  • Upgraded CV Joints: Includes higher-quality constant velocity joints for smoother operation and increased durability.
  • Heavy-Duty Shaft Strength: Built to be twice as strong as the factory-equipped front driveshaft for added confidence on and off the trail.
  • Clean Grease Access: Grease fittings are positioned away from the transmission oil pan to ensure proper lubrication without mess or interference.
