Just to touch on this: I have had a 2" leveling kit on for 130k...and my factory cv axles. No clicking, no torn boots, no noise. I think I have a factory freak...

yeah i feel like my cvs would go for ever, even with the level kit. i had extra shims on top of the level kit and spring bumpers to lift even more. no wonder my ball joints failed, but the cvs are fine. and for sale, since i am using ram axles now.

Well my main issue is my cvs and really I've only had one go bad but the others keep getting torn. Like something is rubbing on the outer boot and grease goes everywhere as you could imagine. I mean eventually they will go bad but I'm unsure what keeps tearing them. Haven't off roaded the thing yet but my drive to work is basically no different with my states **** roadways.
