| I have a special edition with the sport shocks and a 2" lift. Can't say I have not had issues but I can say I think I figured out what was causing my issues. I have popped three rear CV's in the last 4k miles. All three have been while going downhill.
At full droop with tire not wanting to roll (foot on brake) and all the weights drops down on a rear wheel and the machine is trying to roll forward has been my issue. I did find I had two broke rear end mounts. Those have been repaired. I think that accounted for two of the axles. They were two days in a row, same wheel. I now also let off the brake some as I drop off the rocks.

| im running 28" zillas right now with no lift an no rubbing but im thinking of dropping tire size to 26" but don't want to loose ground clearance an really don't want to start popping axles with a lift just trying to get an idea on running a lift with the sport resi shocks I know mine sits up much better than my buddys with the no resi shocks | |

| I get it I have 25" with a 2" lift and bottomed out a couple of times this week hunting, if I had that extra inch it may not have hit as hard. | |

| No problem with the axles them selves or joints but the boots were a headache for while but I think that has been solved, new Napa left and a new OEM on the right. | |
