I am working on a double jointed cv for the IFS. I would like to know what you were doing, where it broke, and if it was stress/angle caused. Thanks for your help and it will be greatly appreciated and well worth it if I can get some replys! |

One word - Skyjacker. Mine didn't break at one specific point, but after a few hundred miles of regular driving at extreme angles. Even after that it was functional, but I got loud popping noises when I was in 4 wheel drive. |

So was it the teeth in the cv that were making the popping noise? Any idea what "broke" on it? |

I think the cage got worn. There were some gouges in it. That allowed the ball bearings to move a bit too much. |

Clint, are they for sale yet? How much of a taller lift can we expect to get? Im building this cv joint on the idea that I can run 35's with the cradle at stock mounts, maybe dropped maby 1 inch to clear a Dana 44 if necessary. |

I've been checking the website at J.E.Reel every so often and haven't seen anything yet...I won't be doing that mod until maybe next spring though, so I'm patient. |
