Cv Axle and Tie Rod Angles

Any suggestions on how to get better cv axle and tie rod angles? I have a 2008 Tacoma.

 

Ditch the drop bracket

 

It is a rough country 4in drop bracket with 5” Bilstein shocks and 3” toytec coils.

 

No spacer on top of coils

Your inner cv boot is tore pretty bad. Need to get that fixed.

 

Look at the other photo. His inner CV boot is pretty bad.

 

What do you think about the CVJ axles?

 

I got them. Their just rebuilt OEM by a company that specializes in axles. I'm a fan.

Not cheap though, but you can send back cores for core refund.

 

Which option do you think would be best for my situation moderate angles? Long travel?

 

I dont really know DB lifts and compatability with LT, personally I don't think it would be worth it. LT is big money with big results. If you're going LT and can afford that, personally, I would loose the DB all together. But, if you want to research it this may help.

What @whatstcp is recommending is more of an economic and efficient way to help your angles and likely retearing of your CV boots. I'd strongly consider what Ed is saying.

 

@Christopher Charlton

What do you use the truck for? Per the option of dropping it down a bit, what size tires you running now?

 

Play truck, building it for crawling and I am running 265/70r17 (haven’t gotten new tires yet) and am planning on running 35/12.50r17

 

I was thinking about that and I didn’t know if that would correct some of the angle. Should of gone with that in the first place.

 

If I were you I would follow Ed's recommendation, pull it apart to swap out the parts, and replace the CV at that time. I wouldn't be driving around with with your torn boot(s) with how bad they are. After that, now you can get around town and take your time to figure it out.


Then do a lot of research (big learning curve), weigh out your options, and make a game plan. Good luck. Tw is a great resource.

I may see if rough country will met me purchase just the drop bracket and knuckles and hopefully that will fix some of my problems. Any objections?

 

I have no objection authority , nor does anyone but you or maybe your wife.

I dont have personal experience with DB lifts so I will just wish you luck
