    Currently running Toytec 3in. Lift. Without 1/4 spacer so roughly 2.5 ins lift.
    My CV axles are almost level with the front diff. Hardly no angle. Running 285/75r17 on stock wheels .

    Can I ad a 3/4 in spacer which will be another 1.5in in the front or will it be too much for the CV axles. I did have the diff drop installed.

    Its a dclb Been running this setup for 4 years and no issue just would like the extra clearance.. And maybe taller tire..

    Usually anything over three sucks for cv axles but if you have a diff drop it should be fine. I've heard a lot of mixed feelings about diff drops but mine works perfectly fine, I have a 6 inch fabtech lift

    that would almost certainly max out your cv angles. not a good idea.

    I started out with a 3" spacer lift with a diff drop but after seeing the cv boot ribs were hitting each other changed to a 2" lift spacer with the diff drop. This set up has been on the truck for the last 14 years with zero problems but it's time to upgrade.
