    I need at least one CV for a 2000 with a mild lift. I don't know lift manufacturer but shocks are Bilsteins all around and I measure the front spacers at approximately 2"

    The question is: would such a lift typically furnish special/longer/high angle CV's or am I ok to use stock pieces?

    The left CV is blue and appears to say GKNAI with some numbers at the top of outer boot, partially obscured

    Also, suggestions for sources for quality CV's? I'm hesitant to use O'Reilly, AutoZone et al20220810_213246.jpg

    Holy hockey puck spacers

    Just get a boot/grease kit and rebuild your cv axles. OEM is the way to go.

    If you do a vague search, you'll see this is extremely common.

    Nothing new here.

    How long have the brake pads been worn past the backing plates? :eek: Those rotors are toast!

    I see RA carries a "heavy duty" Trakmotive allegedly for lifted vehicles-- are these worth it, or junk?

    I also see the Import Directs at O'Reilly specifically say not for lifted vehicles, but I'm also not sure if that's just a standard disclaimer?

    Sorry, I'm just not strong in Toyota IFS lifts (obviously!)

    Just stick to OEM.

    You can do a search as mentioned above.

    Those look like my rutted and warped F150 rotors.
