Extended CV Axles - Lets talk about them

I have done a deep drive into the Extended CV Axles needed when doing a lift on the 3rd Gen tundra. Here is what I found. What are they? There are two sets of front CV axles that come stock on the 3rd Gen Tundra. The TRD Offroad packages and the TRD Pro Tundra come with a red set that are over all longer and stonger built for offroad. These upgraded Axles handle more weight and flex than the standard OEM Axles. What is the Difference? SpecStandard CVTRD / Extended CV Length~24.5–25.5"~25.5–26.5" Shaft Diameter~26–28 mm~30–32 mm Joint SizeSmallerLarger Plunge Travel~1.5–2.0"~2.5–3.0" When do you actually need them? This is on a case by case bases but most trucks do not need these extended axles. When using the standard size axles you may get a clicking or CV binding noise when at full flex. Full flex happens most often when you are offroad and you may have one wheel completely off the ground and the other side completely stuffed into the fender. At this point is where you will see the limitation of the CV axle. But 95% of the Tundra on the road today will not see the limitation as also the UCA becomes a binding point before the CV axle does. Other Options Now other than the OEM red TRD axles there are others on the market that are also extended that may fit your needs.

I've been dreaming of this truck build my entire life... C4 Fabrication makes some of the best truck bumpers on earth. They're rugged, durable, outfitted with plenty of options, and look badass, too. I chose the Hybrid Series front bumper in the raw and had it powder-coated at home. I went with the Mid-Height Bull Bar w/Tube Gussets as well and outfitted the bumper with a Baja Designs 40-inch light bar in clear plus DV8 Xtract 12k Synthetic Rope Winch. I live in the middle of nowhere, where coyotes, deer, and dogs roam wherever, so the bull bar was a must-have for me. The way the front end of the truck looks now is just awesome. Very happy with C4 Fabrication and excited to take it on my first road trip and hunting trip! I've already used the light bar on a few drives down the road at 5am and whatnot when it's super foggy and dark. My road doesn't have street lights or anything, so there's no light pollution, but that also means it can get super dark. I now know what I was missing before having the light bar and front bumper!
