lift causing problems

Hello I have a 1997 f150 4x4 with a 6" fabtech, 3" body, cranked torrsion bars, 2" add a leaf in the rear, truck is lifted around 11" all around. Currently i have been going through cv axles on the front like crazy, 2 axles in 1 month. and i was wondering is there anyway to fix this besides turning down the torrsion bars. like any aftermarket cv joints made for these kind of angles. any help would be much appreciated thank you

I was wondering the same thing. You have done exactly what I want to do to my 02 and I'd love to see some pics if you've got 'em.
