If the cv's are designed to function at any angle within the range of the travel of the
suspension, how would the 1" spacer have any significant effect on the cvs.  The spacer does
not increase the axle angle beyond what was envisioned within the range of normal suspension
travel.  Heck, it's no different that using an air shock and increasing the air pressure to
raise the vehicle height a little, but still within stock dimensions.
