from my little knowledge while looking at LR4 purchase is that the rods, i.e. lift, you are x" over stock all the time which cause wear. If you like performance and can deal with any rubbing when suspension is lower (access height or lower), I would call l8 and see if their HD axles will solve your issue.

makes sense. from what I have heard 265 65 18 are the safest bet on slightly larger tires. I don't have an lr4 yet, but that is what I will attempt.
especially since the axles at l8 seem way overkill for 1" tire increase.
what was the symptom?
Typical cv gone bad sound?
sorry to hear about problems.

$4k on axles? That sounds ridiculous! 1k a corner? Driving withe it lifted will stress the CVs. If u are using the lift rods, they are super easy to change on the fly and I can change them out on a LR3/4 in about 15 minutes. Just pop the ends off the sensors and swap the new ones in. Gives u the lift instantly while offroading and can remove them when done especially if u don't do a lot of trips. GAP tool is great as well because u can program the lift electronically only when u need it. I would recommend the GAP tool for every owner regardless of lift to help diagnose and reset the computer. Very useful for diagnosing engine and suspension issues.
The axles in question have 2 additional CV to accommodate up to 40" tires and a 5 year warranty....at least so they say. seems nuts to do on an lr4, but hey, to each their own
