    NOTE: If ordering a custom length driveshaft with SYE, you will need to install the SYE first and then call us with your driveshaft length. 

    • Do you want to run 4.5" of lift or more on your Cherokee?
    • Does your lifted Cherokee have a vibration during accelerating or when driving at highway speeds?
    • Do you need a slip yoke eliminator to ensure vibration free highway driving?
    • Do you hate transfer case drops because they solve vibrations, but rob ground clearance?
    • Do you want to add 1" more ground clearance under the belly of your Jeep where you need it most?
    • Did your lift kit come with plastic transfer case drop spacers and you're a little nervous about that?
    • Do you just hate slip yokes? I mean really, what was Jeep thinking?
    • Are you on a tight budget?
    If you answered yes to any of these questions, then once again Iron Rock Off Road has the perfect solution for you: our hack-n-tap slip yoke eliminator kit for your Jeep. We have put together a budget friendly solution to your driveline vibrations. With this kit, we provide a new yoke for your transfer case, mounting hardware, and step by step installation instructions. Installation takes only 1-2 hours and does not require opening your transfer case.

    Your friends may tell you that this solution isn't as strong as a heavy duty slip yoke eliminator kit with a new 32 spline output shaft. This is true; our hack-n-tap kit retains the stock 27 spline output shaft, however people have been wheeling very successfully on the stock 27 spline output shaft for many years. Of course if you want the the heavy duty version check it out here, but if you want a budget friendly permanent solution click "add to basket" and we'll ship one out to you right away. You know you want one!! Get rid of that clearance robbing t-case drop and having nothing standing in the way of lifting your Jeep as tall as you want to.

    Why do you need this kit?
    1. Cures driveline vibration caused by lifting a Cherokee 4 1/2" or more.
    2. Allows you to remove your transfer case drop, gaining you 1" of ground clearance or more, right under the belly of the beast where you need it most! This also moves your transfer case further away from the rocks and allows you to raise your t-case skid plate (if equipped).
    3. Great for running a lower lift heights to avoid dropping your transfer case.
    4. Wow, it's so inexpensive!
    5. Great for tall lift kits where a transfer case drop just isn't enough.
    6. Installation is easy compared to kits that include a new output shaft.
    7. It just plain works great!
    8. You can often use another XJ front driveshaft with this yoke! That means your front and rear driveshafts will be identical!
    Kit includes:FITS:
    • All 96 and newer XJ Jeep Cherokee's and 95 and older XJ's when using the seal flange (sold separately as an option above)
      *231 transfer cases with the 3 hole mounting seal housing will need the seal flange sold as an option above. This is typically found on older 231 cases(generally pre-1996). If you are not sure, please look at the back of your transfer case before ordering. If you are still unsure after looking, please call us.
      older style
      Older style - the seal flange is needed
      with this style (must have 3 hole rear
      cone)
      newer style
      Newer style - seal flange not needed
      with this style.













    • ZJ and WJ Grand Cherokee 242 transfer cases
      Verify your 242 case has the 27 spline output shaft. These applications will require a custom length driveshaft. Please call us for details.
    • ZJ and WJ Grand Cherokee 247/249 transfer cases
      These applications use a case hardened output shaft in the transfer case. This can make it difficult to drill and tap successfully without the proper equipment. A custom length driveshaft will be required for this application as well.
    • Fits vehicles that have the AX-5/AX-15 manual trans. A custom shaft could be necessary in these vehicles.
    • Other Fitments: NP233C


    IMPORTANT NOTES:
    • Cutting, drilling, and tapping required. 3/8-16 hand tap, 1/4" and 5/16" drill bits required. The transfer case output shaft is case hardened, so be sure to cut off the entire pilot hole (or you will need a carbide drill bit).
    • WHAT DRIVESHAFT TO USE: This kit is designed to use a factory front Jeep Cherokee driveshaft. A factory XJ front shaft can be found at your local salvage yard for as low as $15! Iron Rock Off Road also sells this kit with the option of adding a brand new custom heavy duty driveshaft. This option can be found in the drop down list at the top of this product page.
    • XJ's with over 6.5" lift may require a custom driveshaft. To be certain, you must measure per the instructions. If you are not sure if this will work on your Jeep, please measure per the instructions before ordering.
    • Not all XJ's have the ability to utilize the front driveshaft in the rear.  Please review the instructions prior to installation.

    Measurements in the instructions aren't right, not for a 3" lift anyway. If you follow them at all, the measurements conflict. I found a post online about this and followed those instructions and it worked out perfectly. Excellent solution and eliminates vibrations!

    I have been struggling with drive line vibration in my 96 XJ (242 j tc) was even though I only have the upcountry minor lift. I bought this kit along with the shaft Jig and drill bits/tap. I picked up a used front drive shaft from a 97. This is a well engineered kit and I can’t believe the difference in how my Jeep drives. Acceleration is smooth and vibes are gone. If you buy this you really need to get the jig and bits/tap unless you have truly high quality bits and taps already. If you have drive line vibes just do this and stop messing with anything else like transfer case shims.

    I hesitated for a while but finally broke down and gave it a try. Could not be more pleased. Bought a used front driveshaft from a salvage yard and replaced all the joints. Got the full kit with the guide and bits and away I went. The directions are clear and there is a video out on youtube that shows you how to cut the output shaft perfectly straight. My jeep is a 2001 Cherokee Auto with 4 1/2" lift. While I wasnt able to use the suggested length in the directions , as that was going to remove too much of the shaft, I left the minimum 1 1/4" of spline and all worked out well. Taking my time (measuring several times before cutting once) it took me about 3 hours from start to finish. Highly recommended !!
