Please do Tom. My Son was asking me about them and I didn't know anyone running them. They will be going on a JK Sahara.

Not to hyjack the thread the KJ's look awesome, but you helped him put in a CV? Does the frankenlift cause a bad angle that will cause early CV failure?

Somewhere between being sane and insane!

Generally no,really depends on mileage the vehicles has on it when the Frankinlift is installed,higher mileage KJ's seam to suffer the most issues due to worn CV's to begin with and the added angles just makes them go sooner.Now don't let that deter you since all CV's,no matter what vehicle,will wearout sooner or later,how much stress and maintenance will effect that time line also(keep the boots clean of mud).

Troy is right....

However
My CV's were new and are good... less than 9000 miles on the CV's... BUT one (and only one) of the boots was bad on the drivers side..... Don't know why, but it was starting to rot... Just a bad boot I guess... The other CV's boots are good... I could have left it but Tom and I are picky...

Yes Chris tried to talk me out of changing his even, But I insisted that we swap it out for a good one. With winter coming I did not want to get a phone call from him saying , "that boot finally tore and its slinging grease everywhere!":D
