TOY: Re: Rear CV driveshaft Q

["Erik Bibelheimer" <thebeebs@xxxxxxx>]

I'm using a stock (unmodified) IFS CV in my rear driveshaft.  I don't have
dual cases, but I have about 6" of rear lift.  My shocks (5005's in the
stock locations) limit the axle from dropping enough to let the CV reach
its limit, but even if they didn't, I don't think it would matter unless I
jumped the truck or something.  Normal wheeling doesn't usually allow the
whole rear axle to drop. Its usually just twisting from side to side and
diff shouldn't really drop too much...

Aren't you usually the one always asking "WHY" anybody would need/want a CV
driveshaft?  ;-)
