Think I may add a CV when I do mine, don't want issues and that is cheaper than buying a new shaft.

Unless you have some deals Ken?

JR, FYI, I don't have a CV shaft on the front or the rear of my D-Max which is lifted 6"-7". My front diff is dropped btw. Have driven over 85,000 miles that way in all sorts of terrain with no vibration or problems to speak of.

Understand, but the cognito lift call for a new shaft. No spacer option like yours. As mild as the angle will change, wonder if there would be an issue at all. I need 4x4 at freeway speeds.

JR, why would you need 4x4 at freeway speeds? Slippery area at 75+ puts you in the pucker brush even with 4x4. And if need be, doesn't help stopping any better either. We could always tell when the storms were all but over, the out of control traffic ended up further off the roads.

Yeah any 6 inch lift has only needed a cv shaft at 55+

Should have been more specific JR. I've had my truck at 80 in 4wd with no vibration... yes by accident. It's when I raced my neighbor on the 200 hp tune, with 4wd launch. It was scary.
