ToyTec Lifts previously said:
Not to start an arguement, but I have to disagree with your statement. After all of our testing, and running our lifts on IFS Toyota trucks we have never seen a broken CV. Our 99 Tacoma has 80,000 miles with different 3"+ lift combinations on it, and before last year when we had to replace an inner CV boot at 100k miles, we have never had any problems. It has had a tough life also..The angles on the newer Tacoma, 4Runner, and FJ are less severe, and we havent seen a single problem with any of those models yet.
If there are a whole bunch of photos posted everywhere online with broken parts on these vehicles, we have not found them...
I think I remember someone on TTORA posting a broken axle online years back that was related to a front locker, and abuse!

I have to agree with ToyTec - we've been installing all types of suspendion systems for over twenty years, and rarely do you see any problems with Toyota axle shafts, CV boots, etc. On Toyotas that were equipped with ADD
(Automatic Differential Disconnect), there were issues when shops tried to max out the coilover lift to 3" - the axle ends pulled out just enough to trigger the ADD sensor, and 4WD would not engage. As long as it is installed properly, and you don't get "as high as possible " fever, you'll be fine. And for the record, ANY modification has the possiblity of reducing the lifespan of other components - that's part of the trade off for improved performance.
