Well balanced, significantly heavier than stock. Very pleased.
I had a vibration in my 99 xj. I am running a 4" lift, had a less expensive driveshaft, it was wearing out. Bought the lifted 4-6" driveshaft option. Definately worth it. Vibration is gone. The u-joints were all grease-able and seemed to be high quality. The black paint was applied liberally, and was not even. I don't really care about the paint, I don't spend that much time every day looking at my driveshaft. Very satisfied, great price.

Excellent
Driveshaft came very clean and well painted with serviceable joints and very well put together.UPDATE: Yokes turned out to not be welded in phase and had to return. I am going to order another one and see how it turns out.

Budget
It’s a budget shaft, after looking at the half arsed spray paint job I have less confidence in the product itself. I currently have a used front shaft from another Cherokee on the rear of my Cherokee that this product was purchased to replace, the rough country shaft seems heavier built but after seeing the spray paint that doesn’t even cover all the bare metal and has no primer under it to hold the paint on, I’m very apprehensive about this product. If they can’t even apply paint halfway correctly then how well did they balance it? For the price it should be ready to go. I will install this shaft and test it out, if I have any issues I can update my review, but as of now I’m not impressed.

Shady Buisiness with the warranty of 'wear parts'
Contacted the manufacturer and was told all wear parts are 1 year warranty, how convenient for the slip shaft to be wobbling all over the place causing a massive vibration after 2 years of daily travelling to and from work roughly 15 miles 1 way. I'm light on the gas and clutch pedal as well and not new to using a manual. Little underhanded if you ask me but that's what these reviews are for, steer clear of this shaft if you don't want to be replacing "wear items" after 2 years of light use or 1 year or less of heavy abuse. Going to contact a local driveline shop to see what they will do to beef up the slip shaft for me so this doesn't happen again, looking at you "rough country". Have a good day everyone :)
