I found this while searching around on the web for information on CV axels for lifted trucks. I have previously posted about the IFS CV axels that chime in around $3500 CAD for a set (crazy). I saw these and clicked on the company and searched through their site and found a they have these cv axels for lifted trucks and provide part numbers for different makes, Ram/Dodge is right up there. I believe they sell this brand at Canadian Tire up here in Canada. I wonder if these axels are any good to run? Anyone ever hear of them?

Might be useful if you use a spacer lift up front along with lift UCA's to try to get elevation without losing down travel but I think the real limiting factor on 1500s for that kind of extension is the inner CV angle not the length of the cv center shaft.

I’m Having zero issues with my 6” Fabtech lift as its all stock angles with the Mevotech UCAs. I’m asking as I reside in a rough pothole infested community and checking on heavy duty cv shafts for the 1500s. Something less in price than the IFS CV axels.

I replaced a broken OEM cv axle on my Ram 3 years ago and the new one from Cardone is visibly larger.. No idea if that translates to strength.

My Dodge Axles lasted 6 years with a Superlift, I just replaced them with cardone HDs at 99$ a piece Canadian.

The output shafts are garbage anyways and will get destroyed either way. Won't matter what CV axles you have.... But with the this rebuilt kit that issue is adressed https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Dodge-Ram-1...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
