Depending on the setup, I've heard some kits have drop brackets for the front diff to lessen the angle on the cv's. Maybe you need something like that.

Drop bracket like NYC said or a set of high angle inner CV joints from Kore. The drop bracket will be cheaper.

After the drop bracket I'm guessing that I will have to do an alignment again

I run a set but for a different reason. I'm dropped 4" in the front on a 4wd, which is the exact same angle as going up 4" with a lift. I grenaded my stock CV joint 5 minutes after I started the truck but the Kores have been going strong for 2 years now with no issues.

That's good to know because i have 6 inch suspension lift and bilstein shocks set at 2 inches. No real cv problems yet but i rather be on the safe side

But he will have to pull the suspension off to put the drop bracket on the diff wouldn't he? If he has to pull the suspension i would recommend a alignment its cheaper than buying new tires
