Front CV axles wear out faster once you add a suspension lift, since the steeper angle puts extra strain on the joints. Our heavy duty CV axle is built for extended travel and holds up to the added stress that comes with lifted trucks and larger tires, making it the go-to upgrade for anyone running their Tacoma or 4Runner hard off-road.
For direct replacements, we carry both front axles for manual locking hubs and front axles for automatic locking hubs, so you can match the correct axle to your truck's hub system. Picking the right axle depends on which hub system your truck uses, so check that before you order. A worn CV axle often shows up as clicking noises during turns or grease flung inside the wheel well, both signs it is time for a replacement before the joint fails completely.
Bigger tires and lift kits put more stress on your front axle housing than the factory design was ever meant to handle. Upgrading your CV axles alongside a stronger front housing helps correct pinion angle and axle width so your steering geometry stays accurate even after a lift. Trail riders who twist their trucks over rocks and ledges will notice the difference in strength right away.

The rear axle takes a beating every time you put power down on loose dirt or climb a steep grade, and stock parts were not built for aggressive tires or added horsepower. Two products stand out for drivers who want to stop rear axle failure before it starts.
Pairing a stronger housing with chromoly shafts gives you a rear end that can handle bigger tires, locked differentials, and hard trail use without leaving you stranded.
