I originally had a BDS 2" lift and had a CV's done at the same time since they were original at 102K. I upgraded to a JBA 2.5" lift 25K miles later and had to replace both CV's again. Now 15K miles later I found out the intermediate shaft was never replaced like I asked and now the passenger side needs to be redone again. Driver's side has a lot of play also and will be replaced. My mechanic was explaining to me that the angle is too steep on the front CV's and that's why they are not lasting.
I've read over and over again on this forum how a 2.5" lift should be ok with stock CV's but should I think about cut-down ones? I'm taking it to a driveshaft and axle specialty shop to get their take on it.
