Hello, I recently lifted my 2006 LC with a set of OME 2” nitro charger shocks and springs and added some UCAs as well. The lift rides and performs good. I am a bit of a worrier by nature and have some concerns for the CV joints and boots. I know I have some fairly agressive angles on my setup currently. My main question is, does this look fairly concerning? I know I have at least a boot replacement in my future. Is reliability something I’m going to have to worry about? I drive almost exclusively highways and washboarded dirt roads. What are general thoughts or notes, this is my first time lifting a vehicle with IFS, love the but miss the simplicity of solid front axles.

I went with the same size lift and after reading a zillion threads on whether I needed a differential drop or not, I thought I'd save a few bucks and skip it. Fast forward to a couple blown CV's, and decided to put in a diff drop and haven't had a problem since. You'll probably get varied responses here, but from my own experience, do the diff drop and save the headache. Good luck!
