Extended CV axle?

[Straight_LineMTB]

Hey all.  Recently installed ome 2928 hd front springs and gained close to 2" lift up front (34" ground to fender lip). After my recent alignment i noticed my upper passenger cv boot is torn.  Was looking at replacements and found rockauto.com has trakmotive ni8185xtt which claim to be extended and can accommodate upto 47° articulation vs 23° of stock.  Anyone running these and/or does it make sense to run these over stock length?

 

Appreciate any feedback,  thanks.

If you only have a spring lift, stick with the original axles.

Agreed, if only a spring lift, any CV ought to be fine.  The Trakmotives have been a reoccurring topic on a few of the Pathfinder FB forums, but a few guys have broken them, too, because they end up contact the bottom of the strut...but that scenario seems limited to guys who run spacers and take the "full send" approach to wheeling.

 

The additional length doesn't really matter at all.  The additional angles help if you run spacers.
