Not to beat a dead horse, but the Rough Country lift does nothing to ease the wear on the CV's after essentially cranking the t-bars (with the new keys).

It's just the nature of the kit. It keeps the front differential in the stock location, while lowering the ride-level of the steering knuckle via a glorified 2" torsion bar crank. Your CV's bridge between the front differential and the steering knuckle, and with a 2" height difference between the two over probably only 12" of CV shaft, you're looking at an additional 10ยบ of working angle on the CV's.

Nope, it's the same exact thing as far as the CV's are concerned.
