no they wont last long need their axle shafts or after market axles

is it because of the extra angle on the cv?

did they click?

I just have hd springs so far and I think the angles are maxed. When I had my shocks off, the wheels didn't drop much more.

I would run my stock axles if I could until they break then replace them as they go, it will put them at a angle but a would think they would work idk that's just my opinion I don't know from experence

You need new axles. American CV axles are aftermarket, but they are not an upgrade. With the 3" lift you need to invest in gorilla or turner axles. No other axle is going to hold up to the increased angles. Your stock axles are going to break, so why not sell them while they are still good to offset the cost for the new axles? Rhino brand axles are better than stock, but still will not hold up on a lifted atv.
