Extended Travel CV Axle for a 12” Lift

siddhartha88 · Mar 25, 2026

Does anyone have recommendations for an extended travel CV axle for a 2016 Tahoe 4x4 on a 12” inch lift?

Welcome to the Forum from NH.

Lots of knowledgeable folks here who freely share their knowledge, experiences, and perspectives. Knowledge is power.

I hope that you will become a participating member in the Forum's discussions.

More pics of the truck, please.

I cannot personally assist you with your issue, but other members of this Forum much more knowledgeable than me in truck lifts will chime in. I believe that there was some discussion about extended travel CV's on this Forum in the past few days, though.

RCV custom made shafts may be your only option for that much lift. It's going to get expensive.
What brand lift did you use?

The majority of lift kits still operate close to the oem travel numbers (everything just gets dropped). Unless you have a custom setup, the stock units should be fine. Are you have issues with the oem units?

Bulletproof suspension. Thanks for the info.

Nothing major but I did want to upgrade to a beefier axle. Thanks for the info.
