Is anyone with a 6" lift on 37's having any problems with their front CV axles? I want to get 37's but some people said that the 37's will snap the axles….id like to hear some opinions. Also what would you recommends replacing when lifting a truck besides the tie rods?

I have a 6'' lift with 37s and yes the front driveshaft has to go ive taken it to a few different shops and everyone says to just get a driveshaft that can handle a bigger angle. I still have my cv shaft in and its making alot of noise. and this is the 3rd shaft i put in.

mine has a u joint at the end of the diff and where it goes into the trans case it looks like a bell connected to a slip joint and in said bell is a cv bearing that will fail if its angle is not correct
