    Hello y’all. I just took off the sway bar on my 2017 Toyota Tacoma. I have a 2.75 inch lift with stage 5 icons. I have the front differential drop kit to accommodate for the lift. Should I be worried about my CV axles breaking under full flex? Or do you think I should be fine considering the transfer case being lowered?

    Your CV axles will immediately snap upon taking off the sway bar.

    Jk but also transfer case doesn’t have anything to do with your CV angles. Are you referring to a diff drop kit?

    I was shaking my head too. Im all for modifying our vehicles, but you REALLY should know what was done to it afterwards.

    They won’t snap unless you start bouncing it. As with every lifted truck they will wear out a little quicker though.
