CV Axles for lifted Tundras

I've read over various forms on here about CV angles, but I have questions about upgrading cv axles.

So my mechanic looked at my CV axles and was worried that they were stretching too much. I've been off-roading with them before and I didn't have any issues.

A couple of months ago I installed some TRQ CV Axles and I noticed they were a tad bit shorter in length than OEM.

For TRQ I found 708mm or 27.87 inches in compressed length.

So I know I can go with the $2299.95 solution for CV axles: https://www.rcvperformance.com/ultimate-ifs-cv-axle-set-for-toyota-tundra-07-sequoia-08-13.html

Or I can go with these medium to long travel axles for $413.41: https://www.buyautoparts.com/buynow...ve_Axle_Kit/90-91763_2D?xref=26509957&src=pla

The buyautoparts cv axles are 5.59 longer which I think is significant. Yes, I could spend $2300 on CV axles that I'm sure are rated for 700HP and some other crazy stuff...but I have a 4.6L V8 and I'm just trying to find something that won't break or pop out of the front diff. Has anyone every use those CV axles?

Stock CV axles have a stock max articulation of 23 degrees and these buyautoparts CV axles have a max articulation of 47 degrees. My concern is quality.

Current drive terrain mods:
3.5" Ironman4x4 lift
1" diff drop

 

No one?

 

Well, like you said quality. OEM is much better than than anything you can buy on Amazon. You basically have a 2.5” lift, from the diff’s perspective, which means you’re not going to droop down far enough to bind an OEM axle, which means you don’t need 47 degrees of subpar alloy.

 

I have a 13 5.7 v8 with a 3 inch ironman lift. go to rock auto.com search part number TO8250XTT. it’s a TRAKMOTIV cv axel built for suspension lifts, uses all oem alloys just has bigger boots and a longer shaft for off-road vehicles, and they are only about 115 a piece. been using it for a few years now and they work perfect no tears or over extension.

 

so, given that these have a longer shaft, will these also work on non-lifted trucks? i don't have a lift yet (although i do plan on about a 2.5" - 3.5" lift in the future), but wouldn't mind picking up a couple of these for spares in the meantime in case the stock ones break on me. i didn't see anything indicating how much longer the shafts on these were vs stock.

 

To fix my issue, I went on ebay, ordered OEM tundra axles, then bought CVJ axle boots for lifted Tundras and bought new outer Cv boots, got new seamless clamps and just rebuilt them. No issues so far which speaks volumes compared to the non-OEM ones I bought.
