I'm having issues with my 2019 ram 1500. i have a rough country 6" lift with 20X10 wheel 37X12.5X20 tires. I've been blowing out CV axles at a ridiculous rate ( 3 sets in under 3000 miles at $1600 USD). I've had a shop replace the stock CV axles with track motive long/extended CV axles and I'm told the CV shafts are designed to work with the lift. I do carry weight in the back of the truck day in day out as its a work truck, so it does have a slight rake and i do tow some light weight trailers from time to time. I'm curious to know if its a possibility that the lift+ weight/rake is causing the CV axles ( on both sides) to pop out and if a set of airbags might be the fix potentially?

Any further input on other potential issues that would be causing the CV axles to pop out and knock/clunk while driving would be appreciated as well. I'm not a vehicle mechanic by any means so diagnoses is difficult without throwing another boatload of cash at it.

thanks!

Seems to be the joint itself. I do get vibrations but it’s tough to tell what it is running an aggressive tire that has 40k miles on it. There cupped and well worn. The shaft inside the diff does have play in it as well I’ll attach a couple pictures.

Thanks,
