Lifted vehicles look great and perform even better off-road — but that lift kit changes the angles and stresses a CV axle has to deal with, often in ways OEM parts weren’t designed to handle. TrakMotive’s newest TrakAcademy course walks through why lifted vehicles are hard on CV axles and how TrakMotive Xtended Travel™ CV Axles are built to solve the problem, giving sales teams, counterpersons, installers, and customers what they need to confidently serve this growing segment.
Why This Course Matters
As lifted trucks and off-road builds continue to grow in popularity, so does the risk of premature axle failure when the wrong parts are used. Understanding how a lift kit affects CV axle geometry — and what to recommend instead — is exactly the kind of knowledge that turns a routine sale into a lasting customer relationship.
What You’ll Learn
The course covers:
- CV Axle Basics – A refresher on how CV axles function.
- Lifted Vehicles – What defines a lifted vehicle and why they’re such a popular category.

- Extended Travel CV Axles – How TrakMotive Xtended Travel™ CV Axles are engineered specifically for lifted vehicles, including a sliding center bar for extended travel and a significantly greater articulation angle than a typical OE CV joint.
- Additional Key Benefits – Further advantages that make Xtended Travel™ CV Axles the right call for lifted and off-road applications.
The course wraps up with a knowledge check and a summary section with additional resources.
