Use standard CVs?

Hi, I bought my (06) truck a couple of years ago, it was supposed to have the lift kit installed at the car yard( it wasnt) so I fitted it when I got it home. I dont do a lot of off road so dont use 4wd much, but when I do the CVs are really noisy, I know they need replacing but, my question is will standard CVs be ok or do I need to get longer ones ? Thanks in advance

 

Did you do diff drop? If you haven't that might be your problem

 

Blocks in rear and rings on the struts on front

 

You have to do differential drop, your CV axles are on steep angle and that's what wearing them out. Diff drop with standard CV axles should cost less as well

 

Ok thanks, I havnt heard of dropping the front drive train on independent suspension. I will look into it

 

No problem. You can get that kit for around 30 bucks off Amazon

 

I will look it up. Cheers

 

Thanks for your help Bud, found and ordered them. Cheers

 

Cheers, not many guys know Tundra downunder, its even worse where I live, there is 5 in my state. I hope I never need a heap of parts.
