longer axle shafts

[ozzyfan319]

i have a 95 xlt and was looking into doing the torsion twist lift. if i were to go over 2 inches, word on the street is that it will tress the c.v. joints too much. if i were to put in longer c.v. shafts in the front i tend to think that would relieve some of the stress. does anyone know if this is true. and if so what shafts should i use? i cant seem to find any online and it seems like no one really gives a sh*t about explorers but us. :exp:

there are no commercially available longer cv axles for the ford explorer.... also, that would not cure the issue of the angle because a longer axle cant go anywhere in the same mounting positions, it wouldnt fit......

now if someone did a longtravel with wider arms, than the longer axle idea would work.... when you long travel a toyota tacoma, you use tundra cv axles

there is a company called dixion brothers racing out of denver with a long travel suspention. i was going to put it in my truck but i ended up with superlift. they race baha with explorers they might have some idea
