From what I've been told, your stock CV's are good for a 15 degree angle on the outers and 30 degrees on the inners. From what I haven't heard on here, people bitching a 2 1/2" level kits blow out their CV's. From what I've personally seen, Around 4" inches of lift without a good differential drop bracket and you'll get binding that will wear them out faster, the older they are the faster they'll go when flexed and a good alingment can "reduce" binding. So I wouldn't worry.

and i saw the kits that drop down the front diff, but i told my self whats the point, really. i might as well just get an all around 4" lift.
and since were on the subject of levelling, what are the biggest/widest tires i can fit in there? without rubbing of the tire. i would like to get some offset rims for the looks and the clearance
