Lifting 2025 Maverick AWD Hybrid safe for CV joints?

[Frenchy]

I ask this question again ( after checking existing posts) as I believe that I never received an answer to my previous question: what do we know about the CV joints on the 2025 Maverick AWD? Not that I would want to do at this point but if I wanted to lift my 2025 AWD Hybrid would it be safe for the CV joints?
Thank you guys

How would anyone on this forum know the answer yet?

Because just like me they have a 2025 Maverick and they would have looked under. I am now too old to do these things that I used to do all the time

I think what Allen is saying is: you can inspect all you want to see if they're different, but we will not know how they really hold up for a while. Hopefully, any changes to them have solved the problem.

Exactly. These problems didn't really show up on the earlier years until the trucks started hitting 20-30k miles.

The answer to your question is owner experience over time. No one has 50,000 or even 20,000 miles on 25 model year, not yet.
If you need to lift your truck for your use then lift it.

Judging by all the people who complain about the exhaust material quality there are lots with metallurgical analysis spectrometer eyes.

I was thinking that someone would be able to see if the CV Joint on 2025 are the same or not than on the 2024

Just like driveshaft U-joints, anytime that you increase the joint angles, you're going to decrease their lifespan. It isn't going to matter who makes them, whether they are "upgraded" or stock, or how heavy they are, its just simple physics. The only question is when will they fail, not if.

While that is true, a 1" lift or level I wouldn't think would make that much of a f difference, even 2".

Except you rarely hear about failures on Tremors, with the factory 1" lift. It's well documented that the design of the CV halfshafts is different. It's possible the '25's share a similar design.

I don't understand how so many people post questions like this... " I want to change my steering geometry and increase joint angles on reciprocating components, disregarding engineering specs. Am I going to reduce the reliability of my vehicle?". The answer is always "probably". Vehicles have issues when we use them as designed and assembled. Why wouldn't we expect more problems if we change them outside of design parameters? I've been tweaking vehicles since 1973, reduced reliability is always assumed when increasing capability.

That's not the question. The question is if the '25 CV joints are improved over the '24 and it is a valid question that can probably be answered by anyone who can get under it

The reason he wanted to know if the CV joints changed was so he could lift his truck an inch or two. Even the title of the post is "Lifting 2025 Maverick AWD Hybrid safe for CV joints?"
