The truck originally had a double cardigan joint, what you are calling a "CV" I had to take it out after the lift was installed. I got better results with a single u-joint at each end of the drive shaft. The "CV"...
With a larger U-joint will I be able to run it at a higher angle? Or with the larger joint comes a larger yoke and these cancel out any angle gains? This vehicle will not be run on the road so speed and vibration are not of great concern. I know the higher the angle the shorter the life, I have...
