Default cv axel issues

Ok i have a 2001 blazer LT with a lift. I have a 3in body lift a 1-3 in shackle and t-bars adjusted. Now ive seen a thread on here before for a cv axel issued and someone suggested the Rc suspension lift. If i get the lift will this solve my cv axel issue?

Not on the 2in lift, but it will help with your balljoints. The only way to get cvs straighter with a lift is to drop your dif. Or, you could just eliminate the cvs all together with a solid front axle =]

it would be hard to do. i had to cut one of the mounting ears off of the diff and bolt a new one to it

see i looked at the picture of the 6 in lift and i was looking at it, and was thinking if could just customize your own front dif brackets like what they use you would be all set.
