Does lifting a KJ 2.5" cause accelerated CV joint wear? Or does off-roading in general, with the associated enhanced movement of the CV joint, cause wear and expected replacement?

Yes to everything. Off-roading puts more stress on the entire drivetrain. That doesnt mean its going to break or anything, but thats a fact. The drivetrain in the libby is built fairly tough except for that front diff.

Someone(Mutt) blew a CV on some rocks, but I think he was pushing it fairly hard. :lol:
