Quick Question about Extended Travel Coilovers and CV

This might be something that was answered however i tried to find and couldn't, if you know link please let me know.

My question is I bought icons Coil over extended travel, with new icon UCA, but no one mentioned anything about cv's do you need to upgrade those as well, or is travel for extended is not that significant that oem cv will still work?

2016 tacoma trd offroad auto is my truck.

PS: I also removed sway bar, as this truck is offroad only.

Thanks.

 

Oem axles

 

Oem axles. IMO keeping lift around 2” keeping cv’s in a happy spot. If you wheel hard maybe limit straps

 

Yea my lift is only 2.1 I recall as Icon doesn't recommend going. axels are OEM currently.

 

i am kinda curious if people constantly losing their cv's we probably would be seeing alot of topics on this but i searched on extended travel and icon website nothing says you need to update cvs's so bit curious i am about week out for expedition and dont think i want to ruin trip with this.

 

You will be good

 

So those that lose CV's are they like extreme level lifts etc? like 3" + just curious

If your not going hard on your rig you will be good

 

Cv damage comes at the angles you get at 3” lift. As you can tell almost no droop even with the “extended” portion. And if you’re doing only off-road then you should be looking into king or fox 2.5” + bypass and long travel lca and extended shafts/rcv’s. Cheers

 

I am on Icon Coilovers 2.5 extended travel. you saying fox or kings have different setup?

 

What kinda offroading we talking about here?

They're all the same. He's referring to long travel suspension. You are still stock width.

 

OEM axles have enough travel. If the inboard boot fins are touching (which would shorten boot life), just do the boot slide mod. Takes 15 minutes in the driveway with two hose clamps.
