My assumption is that it got wore down throughout the year and was barely holding together.... Then decided to grenade itself on that hill.....
Hmmm, I'll look into that. 3 wheel drive I could of drove out of there.
I'm wondering if going from spacers to stiffer coilovers that would have less droop would do the trick.
I'm thinking that would help a lot, I've never been a fan of puck lifts. But if you stay with a 5" lift even with coilovers your still putting a lot of wear on your CV's and also your rack if you haven't upgraded it.
With the diff drop and the taller A arm, my stock ride angles are pretty good. I think it's that I droop to far... Probably doesn't help that I always disconnect my stab bar off-road.
The diff drop will help but 5" of lift is pretty hard to compensate for! That's just the nature of the beast when your dealing with IFS! That's where portals come in, but that's simply out of most people's price range. I know the big lifts are all the rage, ( I don't get it) but I think you'd be better off going to about a 2" lift, a lot easier on things!
I like the clearance in the snow.... I'd rather keep breaking things haha. I'll just keep upgrading components. Some coilovers and then RCV shafts. Maybe some limiting straps.
I am agreed with the droop statement. I've seen what happens when the axles get extended like that. I'm surprised they can even function at those angles.
Well this one lasted about 8 months....
Yeah, I'd be doing something different! You said you thought it might also be from running your sway bar disconnect, it might be part of the problem. But there are guys I know that have removed their sway bar completely that haven't blown CV's but they aren't running huge lifts either.
