Description

Overview

For Jeep Wrangler JK owners, the G2 Axle and Gear 92-2052-3 is a double cardan CV style replacement for the rear driveline. It is offered as a heavy duty replacement for JK models with automatic transmissions.

The shaft is made from heavy duty D.O.M. tubing with solid body U-joints in the 1350 size, and each unit is dynamically balanced. It is suited to stock through 6 inch lift, with tire clearance up to 37 inches.

Key features

  • Double cardan CV style rear joint layout
  • Heavy duty D.O.M. tubing
  • Solid body U-joints, 1350 size
  • Dynamic balancing against vibration, per G2
  • Suited to stock through 6 inch lift
  • Tire clearance noted up to 37 inches
  • Fits 2-door models with automatic transmissions

Before the swap

Before removing the old shaft, check how the transfer case and rear pinion are aligned, and note the shaft length. A shaft that is too long or too short can strain the slip spline or bind the joints. Mark the old shaft’s orientation so the new one can be clocked the same way at the yokes.

Lift height and the transmission type both affect the setup, so review them before starting. If you plan to change either, decide that first so the shaft choice matches the final build. Clean the yoke surfaces and inspect the bolt holes for damage before assembly.

  • Note the old shaft length and yoke orientation
  • Clean the yoke surfaces before reassembly
  • Check driveline angles once the vehicle is back on the ground

Questions & Answers

Is the 92-2052-3 a front or rear shaft?

Rear. It is a rear drive shaft with a double cardan CV style design, so it installs at the rear driveline.

Which vehicles does the 92-2052-3 fit?

It fits the Jeep Wrangler JK from 2007 to 2018, limited to 2-door bodies with automatic transmissions. Check both before installing.

What lift height does the 92-2052-3 suit?

It is suited to stock through 6 inch lift, with a maximum lift height of 6 inches. Tires up to 37 inches are the limit, so plan your build around that.

What tubing and balance does it use?

It uses heavy duty D.O.M. tubing with solid body U-joints and is dynamically balanced. Check for smooth operation after installation, since vibration is the practical test of balance.

How do I know if a slip yoke eliminator is needed?

It depends on the shaft length and the transmission output position. Measure the distance between the yokes and compare it with the fit requirements for your vehicle before buying a shaft or eliminator.
