CV angles too much?

I finally installed my suspension lift yesterday, and it looks way bigger than I expected. I have 99 coils with 1.5" CB spacer and one of Andy's top out spacers. Take a look at the pics of my CVs and Upper A-arm and let me know what you think. Keep in mind I don't have my diff drop installed yet.

Even with the diff drop will my CV's be at too great an angle?

Should I remove the top out spacer? And if so, will I be abe to do so without taking my coil assebly completely out again?

thanks in advance

You're getting 2" of lift over a 99 4Runner...Thats a pretty safe number. My CV's looked like that WITH my diff drop. I think after do drop it, you'll be golden.

I know you don't have to take apart the assembly to take out the top space because when we put in my Revtek lift, we forgot to put in the spacer. When we took off the assembly, we only had to add the spacer and back went the strut.

Yea, it just looked like I might be getting more than 2" of lift. Maybe b/c I don't have a winch?
