Side By Side / Re: 450i lift kit
« on: November 01, 2016, 04:21:11 AM »For the same reason people want extreme lift kits, it is just a fact that running Cv joints at extreme angles will shorten their lives and will need to be rebuilt sooner than later. Some folks just like extreme ride heights or they use there equipment where high lift is needed but no matter what the reason people that do so are prepared to rebuild their CV's more often. After looking at the optional mount on my 450i I don't think it would be that severe to cause extreme wear but will probably shorten some the CV life. Rear mount can't be used unless sway bar is removed from what I see. I set mine to max height with the factory mounting holes and get about 10.5" lift and it increased the CV angle a little but not extreme.
I looked at the rear end and not quite sure about running without a sway bar.
