Need to upgrade axles for lift?
I have a 2006 sportsman, and I am looming at lift kits.
I am looking at this highlifter kit. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F161931598805
Ready to pull the trigger on it, until I started reading some reviews that says you need to get different axles for the rear, due to the independent suspension. Is this true?

It's better if you had Gorilla,Epi,etc drive shafts that were stronger,but we've had them break also. We installed plenty of lift kits including Highlifter,but this was the part I hated doing the worst:"NOTE: Be sure to always check CV boot clearance at strut housing during installation as you may have to grind the aluminum strut housing to create sufficient clearance for CV boots (even if you're running stock CV axles)." Usually there wasn't any "may have to" to it as we had to grind down all the bottoms of the strut housings for clearance. I know they look sharp with lift kits,but expect parts to wear a lot quicker. Here's list of some of the major brands that you might consider.https://dirtwheelsmag.com/home-page/...les-cv-joints/
