front axle help?

LilRed91 · **Posted:** Sat Oct 29, 2011 8:56 am

Can't decide what do with my front axle. I really don't want to swap out because of cv joints. Or is there any way to make the front axle stronger. Need some options and advise. Thinking of putting 2.5" lift to 3.5" lift if possible with 31" tires. And plan on getting lockers by spring when I have the money.

do you mean your CV axles or the differential?

The cv axle. Isn't that weakest on the front end. I'm a newbie if that helps

Wheel it and have fun, an diff ever made can be broken one way or the other, biggest thing with the 30a's is if you're spinning a lot then it suddenly grabs, locker helps to control that.
Lots of people have wheeled theirs and no problems, stop worrying about what may happen and enjoy !

Okay. Thanks man will enjoy. You think it would be safe to put 3.5" lift

First what lift are you using ? I see advertisements for 2 inch, or 3.5 inch etc but some are junk and not worth installing or you don't get the lift they advertise.
If its the normal lift with OME springs etc that most everyone uses then having it at 22.50 -22.75 you'll be fine with no problems really
