    as a proud new owner of an 06 un modified XK with the 4.7 and a QTII and a plan on a 2" lift and larger tires and some moderate off road travel how much of a concern are these CV joints? is this an item i should keep in my parts pile or wait until the start to go. the truck has 81000 mile on it now. it will see off road no more than 3 or 4 times a year.

    if you can find a shop to do it..... cutting the crimps off like I did is still a 3+ hr job. Better off doing it yourself

    Yea thats what Im talking about, cutting the crimps off and putting clamps on with new hose.. After researching it seems most people did it this way, some replaced with new line and took 3-4 hours to snake in there.. My point is this, why replace with line thats eventually going to do same thing?!? Ill be doing the clamps..

    Not something id worry about. Except for an extreme offroad condition you'll know that a cv is going bad long before it fails.
