    I have '10 TRD OffRoad and need to replace the CV axles. Thing is I want to get a 2-3" lift and go up a couple tire sizes in the future and I know that adds stress to the axles.

    My question is what cv axles should I get and what other parts should I replace in order to increase the lifespan of the drive train?

    I offroad 2-3 times a month and want to go more often and only have a midsized budget.

    Upgrade to a ECGS bushing while you have the CV's out.

    Go to CVJ axles, they have remanufactured oem axles which are said to be the strongest.

    Are the cv boots puking grease everywhere? are the joints making noise when turning?

    Also CVJ is the go to for replacements.

    Replace the grease seals. 2010 yours are getting old. There are seals on both sides of the CV axle.
