In stock form the flange angles are like this \----/ and not like this \----\ They are oposing, but still the same. So when you drop the axle (lift the truck) and you keep the caster constant you will see that eventually the \---/ situation changes to a |---/ situation that is ideal for a cv shaft. That point is between 4" and 6" of lift. If you go beyond 6 inches of lift it changes to \----\
