It's like Toyota made it with lifting in mind. The angle on the stock 3rd GENs started out when the 3" - 4" lifted 4th GEN stops. CV angle is not a worry for lifting a 4th GEN.
His last pic shows a 5" lift and the resulting angle. I personally would not go past a 3" lift but that's just my opinion and based on the way I drive and things I do with my rig.
Thanks. I've seen the CV problems with 3rd gens, Tacomas, and Tundras. I've never heard of a problem with a 4th gen. I plan to crawl under tonight for the first time, first oil change. I'll spend a lot of time creeping around and learn about my truck.
