There's a huge number having the same problems that haven't ever touched their trucks though ... definitely a known defect, any mods definitely amplify the issue
I'll have to dig up the pics of it when Ford sent it over. I've got it somewhere. If I remember right it was the outboard splines though. And I trust the shop that did the kit for me. One of the most reputable shops here in Mesa for 4x4 stuff.
The CV failed 1500 miles after the leveling...
Yep, it was the end of the spline stripped ... which I'm sure is as much factory defect as it was an improper installation. They said the front right shouldn't have any issues bc it's 2 piece and has some mobility to it. So until they come out with something more robust from the aftermarket I...

That was the response from my dealership as well ... I think it just kind of depends on the one you go to. I had a leveling kit from Ranger Lifts and it blew the front left CV. They replaced it, but said they wouldn't do it again without charging me - as long as the leveling kit was on it. So...
Do you have the XLT Luxury package? Maybe that package comes with the leather wrapped wheel - bc it's not stock on all XLTs ... otherwise I got ripped! haha
From Amazon, I love it too!
