The C/V's are pretty stout and they can safely take a little additional angle (as long as you don't go crazy with them) especially considering that they aren't used in daily driving as they only turn when you have 4x4 engaged.
Ok, now I just don’t really know what to think anymore, ive been told that the angles weren’t that bad before especially since I will not be engaging 4x4 very much and will be conducting very little offroading......But now im told they are extremely bad and will result in failure of parts within a few thousand miles!!!!
Im sure there are lots of folks out there with a similar setup to mine that have been just fine......From the few months ive been on this Forum I think I finally figured it out people are just really biased to their particular setups. If its not what they got they find something wrong with it and it grows out of control to the point where it seems like any thing you do to your truck will result in sure destruction (depending on which person replies and what they have)
I got nothing against the Forum, ive received great feedback and information, but sometimes its just a LOT of biased brand bashing and such....
CAN I GET AN UNBIASED PROFFESIONAL OPPIONION PLEASE!!!!! OR HAS ANYBODY WITH THE PROCOMP SPACER LIFT AND A LEVELING KIT HAD PROBLEMS WITH SAID ISSUE!!!!!

I think they look fine as well.They look just like my 05 with a 2.5in level kit on it.If your stacking the procomp spacer and the leveling kit spacer,I wouldn't suggest that.I would get some bilstens or rancho shocks that you can adjust 2inches so you don't have to stack plus they will probably ride better.Maybe its fine but it would just worry me stacking.

What ill most likely do is just crank the coilovers to maybe 1.5" so that it reduces the angles a tad just for longevity reasons
Thanks for the help folks

I recently installed a used 4" lift to correct my problem. The lift was cheaper than having the CV axles replaced one more time. My CV axles now have 0 angle and the ride is much better.

it might not look bad, but go look at Josiah's thread over in the 04+ forum. people with upset CV angles are having problems with the steering rods breaking, His rods snapped when he was rotating his tires. Other people in the thread with spacers or cranked coilovers (upset CVs basically) were complaining of the same problems.
To me, that is dangerous. what if your driving down the road and suddenly you lose the ability to steer? automatic accident.

without a steering rack drop, there is more stress on your outer rods when turning (only with poor CV angles)
