On your CV axle length issue, TrakMotive seem t have differing opinions but have spoken with two 4WD shops that said for vehicles that are not putting double the factory horsepower to the ground they function better than most Chinese remans and have some unique features that make them attractive.They have their Premium line, Monobloc tube line, Extended Travel (for lifted vehicles) and a Heavy Duty Extreme line of CV axles giving the end user several options to fit their application. I still shop Moog first but TakMotive is my second choice for OEM applications and first choice for odd needs,

Dropped the front differential 3inches fixed the binding cv axle issues I can go full range of travel with out them binding now still have the issue with upper control arms what I'm looking at is getting 2000s model uppers they have rivet ball joints but I can't figure out what size the stud is on them if they'll work or not with out doing some modifications to them or could I take and make a spacer for in-between the control arm and where it mounts with two bolts
Found a few different upper control arms that look like they may work or might work with minimum fab work any idea on these? Also can't find new oem upper control arms for this truck last time I rebuilt the front end I replaced the bushings and ball joints in the control arms and had to weld the upper ball joints in due to rust so I have to find some kind of replacement ones
