    I test drive a TRD Off Road, Ranger FX4, and a ZR2 yesterday. I noticed that the CV angles on the TRD we’re close to flat/zero. I didn’t check the ZR2 or Ranger; it didn’t occur to me during those test drives).

    Are the CV angles on a stock Off Road & Pro close to flat/zero as well? I doubt I’ll ever lift it level the Off Road or Pro, but I’m “concerned” about the CV angles as a possible issue down the road if they’re not "flat."

    Thanks for any info you guys can offer.

    Most IFS vehicles are designed to have their CVs straight and lifting will always cause more stress on them. That's why cradle drops exist, but they aren't necessary.

    Don’t worry about it. My non-flat, CV’s have yet to implode. Roughly 30k miles on a 3” lift.
