Not a single issue so far but only a little over 3,000 miles on my lift. :roll:

It all depends on the geometry of your front suspension post lift. If you flex your front out offroad, look at the bottom of the strut asssembly, specifically the rounded bottom that the clevis goes around. If you notice this is resting on the CV boot, you will probably tear some CV boots offroad.
This is why people with 5"+ lifts are having to shave 3/8" off the inner CV, so the contact point mentioned above is not an issue.
