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. Per Lindgren wrote:
