Lift kits - who’s had no issues after installation?

[Grand Nat.]

There were some members on this forum that complained of axle troubles after they installed lift kits. I was wondering how many members who installed these kits have no issues and the mileage that they've accumulated on their vehicles.

Have had my HRG Off-road kit on for 11k miles with no issues. Retorqued the suspension components 500mi after install and again at 5k. No noises, leaking CVs or any other problems with it

I have the 2” fordrangerlift. Have about 5000 miles on it with no issues.
No noises, rides great, no leaks.
I did it myself to make sure it was done correctly.
Had it aligned.

I have about 2,000 miles on my truck since install of the 2-inch Eibach Pro Lift Springs. No issues. Just did a road trip PA-SC and back and truck did fine. I've looked at the CV boots several times since install; no signs of wear.

My installer said the more severe angle with the lift springs installed will certainly shorten the total life of the CV axles vs. if they were completely straight. However, he did not seem to think it should be a very big deal. His best "guesstimate" was 75% of stock axle life, give or take, which for a CV axle could be 100,000 miles or more based on my experience.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping things remain as uneventful for a long, long time, because I love the way my truck looks with the lift and the added clearance is great both off pavement and in town, where I no longer have to worry about curbs potentially scraping the front bumper.

Sounds good to me. My biggest concern is really the transmission case bearing which some individuals on this forum said they had a problem. My Tremor's lift seems to be more than an inch as Ford stated. This is comparing it to my friends non Tremor model XLT. I think I will go an inch more.

Did you install the camber bolts? They didn’t come with the kit

Yeah I installed them. They aren't included with the kit. They are sold separately and are like $20.
