RCV makes some good axles,pricey though.

I would run them in my HP44 but the small 6 bolt GM knuckle I use are to small for the boot to pass through.

They're on my my wish list, along with a JBA 4" suspension.

What are the performance pros/cons of keeping your IFS and swapping your Stock CV Axle for a RCV CV Axle compared to doing a full SFA Swap? (Obviously besides all the crazy work and cutting/welding required for an SFA swap)

The RCV's are about 10 times stronger(if not more) then the stock CV's regardless of who made them(OEM,remaned,or china made "new") since there made out of 300m steel.They also have a lifetime warranty regardless of what caused the failure and they actually honor the warranty and are pretty quick about getting a replacement to you.

If you have JBA coilovers and a-arms, your CVs limit droop. These would mean that you can get more droop correct? Seems like someone with the money should get these and test! lol

If I remember right those are the ones Honduras tested out on his KJ
Then he went to a SFA due to problems

He had to much flex with the 6" lift over-extending the CV axles.

So with the proper amount of bumpstops and proper length limiting straps this could work. Would you actually get more flex, or would it just mean that your CVs can stand those harsh angles longer?

Just means the CV's can handle more abuse at extreme operating angles but like everything all things have there limits.he was also pushing 33" tires which accelerated damage.
