At 2” lift and extended travel coilovers, do I need high articulation CVs?

I tried searching for this and could not find anything on it. Currently in a discussion with another TW member on this topic On a Facebook group.

 

He's wrong, 1000's of us on OEM axles and no problems

 

Yeah, that’s what I thought. If it would’ve been an issue, I would’ve ran across it already.

 

OK, he did say that he does not have a third GEN. I don’t know what generation he has so was this the issue on previous generations?

 

Wrong!!!

 

No, but it has been an issue on the 4th gen. There are CVs of differing lengths on different trims.

 

OK, so maybe he’ll jump in here and state his case lol. I’ll suggest it on Taco nation.

I really think something more has to have went on for his CV axle to dislocate just backing out of his driveway six times. with only 2 inches of lift

 

Am I the only one that doesn't know this well known guy?

Anyways, as others stated. Not an issue. There's something else going on. Only cases I've seen were 4th gens as well.

 

He’s going to be famous

 

Here’s more of the conversation. He’s went silent for now after I posted a screenshot from TW of your guys‘s responses

 

Here's the thread I was thinking about earlier. Is this our guy?

Hey guys. I drive a second gen. And was quite thorough in my diagnosis. Of this issue. After switching from Bilstein 5100's with a 3/4" spacer to 6112's my suspension should have enough droop to dislocate the tripod bearing on the inner CV. I have checked that the diff is centered properly. But the only option I've found to work are the high articulation CV's offered by napa

 

Napa cv's are worse. They don't allow the same amount of articulation as oem cv's before binding. Photos of your front suspension setup please.

 

I'm speaking specifically of the $300 dollar high articulation CV's not the generic ones. They are made by teke I believe

 

I'm definitely a fan of the oem's I have rebuilt the originals a couple times. They just weren't long enough anymore

I diagnosed the issue just like he does in his videos. Pull the coil over and installed a OEM CV without the inner boot on, then articulated the suspension to see what was going on. I am running SPC adjustables and cam tab gussets
