cv joints/boot and lift kit??
somewhere I read that lift kits (spacers) such as downey, revtek and cornbred... can lead to early wear on your cv joints since it will change their angle it puts more stress on them?? Can anybody verify or refute this argument? Therefore... doees a fabtech lift kit cause the same thing?

If you do a suspension lift of any sort this will happen. To counteract the problem somewhat, buy the Differential drop spacer kit. I believe Revtek, & Downey both have one. Check with Mike at Xtreme off-road and he will be able to get you one. Also I believe Roger Brown makes one as well. *Note* This will not remedy the problem completely, but will greatly decrease the chance of it happening as early.
