Alright guys....I got a question for you folks...I have installed the EOE/AC 3" suspension lift on my 2000 X. I have seen a couple of instances where guys have blown up their CV joints at full droop when using this lift (or other 3" lifts without a diff drop).
My question is....would NOT disconnecting my front sway bar while off-roading have a lessening effect on the possibility of this happening if my front wheel(s) droop while under full power. I know that this will also lessen my articulation, but a little stiffer front end is far more tolerable on the trail than an exploded CV joint. And I also know that being aware of the front wheels' positions on the ground (or lack thereof) can help me in knowing when to power through or knowing when to back off and try another line (one less taxing on the front end).
I may be asking a totally assinine question here, but I'm just trying to contemplate ways to reduce the possibility of destroying a CV joint on the trail, without going with a diff drop right yet.
Any thoughts or ideas would be welcome.
