Default CV Axles!

Hey all! So I have a 1997 Chevy Blazer and I have a Superlift 6in lift on the truck. The CV angles seem a little extreme so I was wondering, would the ZR2 Highrider option CV axles maybe make the angle a little better? Just a thought. Thanks in advance!

The difference in front chassis ride height between ZR2 and non ZR2 is less than one quarter inch. No, it will not make a difference, even if the ZR2 half shaft would fit, which it will not. Premature wear is to be expected when the front suspension is out of spec.... one of the ongoing expenses with a lift When front chassis ride height is out of spec, CV joints are not the only things that wear out prematurely.

Here are the measuring points:

Maximum distance for non ZR2 is 5.0" and max for ZR2 is 5.2"
