dont worry about your cv joints they can handle the increased pinion angle from the leveling kit look at an atv they have cv joints that run at twice the angle of our trucks with no problem other than normal wear and tear
from what i can tell, from looking under my truck, is a 2-2 1/2 inch lift isn't going to change much of anything, as far as angles go. to me,on my truck, it almost looks like the half shafts are angled up a bit anyway. i just don't see how there could be any bad long term effects on the cv joints. personally, i'm going to go with the solid aluminum spacer. i think the only wear that could happen would be from using the two piece urethane spacers...which will eventually crack, especially from having the coil pushed up against the lower piece. but i still wanna see the pics

The truck clearly handles better and the turning radius is much improved. Those of you who think it still has the factory ride with a leveling kit installed should come drive my truck to do a comparison. Completely different truck... Denial is not just a river in Egypt. Good luck to all of you who leave it in there... I am glad mine is out. 

Nevermind...I see that you did have it aligned...now take it and get it aligned again.
