Default Pics Of your CV shaft Please!

Okay I was planning on doing a 1.5 T bar twist on my Jimmy but I looked at the CV shaft and it seems to be at a bad angle as it sits, I was wondering if I could get a few pics of a shaft with a T bar twist and also without please and thank you!

I dont have one,but with only 1.5 done you should be ok with the angle. I wouldnt do much more though. Time to buy a real lift kit.

When front chassis ride height is out of spec, all 4 CV's, both outer tie rod ends, all 4 ball joints, both torsion bars, both front shocks, and both universal joints on the rear driveshaft are all subjected to added stress and will all wear prematurely. If you want an inexpensive lift, do a body lift, not a suspension lift.
