Front Drive shaft problems

[Blueridge]

Hey All,

I have issues with my 2004 front drive shaft. I have a 3" lift and my front drive shaft is now shot. Any suggestions on a replacement?

Lift changes nothing at all on the front driveshaft , its the same stock as lifted, angles etc don't change
NOW whats wrong with the driveshaft?
If its the rear boot gone and CV worn out they are replaceable for 50-60 bucks

Lift will not affect drive line angle, but bigger/heavier tires certainly will put a lot more stress on it...

Depends yes in some ways but also in how you treat it when locked in

Mine has ran larger than "factory recommended " tires for the last 191,000 miles,
have rebuilt the rear CV on the front driveshaft once on the original driveshaft due to the boot deteriorating
