Re: Lift = bad CV joints

Apparently no one has thought of this EVER, because numerous searches come up with absolutely no results relating to "CV" or "CV JOINT" etc..

I want to lift the FJ with "A" lift, (unknown) but am worried about premature wear on the CV joints and boots. Keep in mind they are always spinning!
(unlike old yotas with good old manual hubs)

My FJC has 6700 miles... if I put on a lift at 7000, will the CV's be worn out by 20K? The constant increased angle isnt good for them, or the boots.

Anyone with a lift up front, please take a picture of the CV angle and post it here. (PLEASE!) Inform how high the lift is etc. Knowledge is power!
Yup, the only way to lift it without compromising the angle is to lower the entire front differential assembly, i.e full size Chevy lift with all that bracketry.
