    How long did your CV axles last after installing a lift?

    I installed an OME 2” lift in September of ‘17 when my truck had about 8k miles on it. A few years later I added a 1/4” spacer to offset the sag from the 887 coils.
    A few weeks ago, I swapped out the 887s for 886s (and removed the spacer) to offset the extra weight of an SSO bumper.

    Recently, while making the necessary tight turns to navigate an airport parking garage, I noticed an annoying/embarrassing amount of clicking up front.

    A quick check under the truck shows no damage to any of the boots, but a little play in the inner joints.

    My truck now has about 72k on it, so ~64k since the original lift.
