No cv needs clocked. That is a myth. I see what you are saying about my axles. Yes,they have a slip joint in them BUT they NEVER slip. They haven't budged a thousandth of an inch since installed. As a matter of fact a rock hit the outer slip section on one,denting it to where it cannot slip almost the very first day. In effect I have solid axles. So,nlo,my axles will not fall into the lower cv. You pop is due to other issues. My axles NEVER pop.here is no reason for them to. My plunging cv's I used to use never popped either. You have,IMO,other issues to find.  Bottom line is that if you like uj's better then that is the way to go for you . The tire couldn't care less what we think or use to drive it.

I'm not going to design anything with over 28 degrees from now on anyway. IMO ,if you can't get the travel you need within 28 degrees you're just asking for trouble trying for a few more inches of mostly unneeded travel anyway.

I forgot to ask, did you clear paint these?  I have to finish the aluminum on my car which is driving me crazy.  I am really starting the hate weld aluminum.  anyway I am going to order my wrap soon.

And maybe on the trip but not looking so good.
