Designed specifically for 2011–2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500HD and 3500HD trucks with the LML Duramax, this extended-travel CV axle provides substantially more articulation and suspension travel than the factory axle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith up to \u003cstrong\u003e47° of articulation\u003c\/strong\u003e compared to approximately 23° with the OE axle, the DMAX extended-travel design helps reduce CV joint bind and stress at increased ride heights. An upgraded \u003cstrong\u003e8-ball CV joint\u003c\/strong\u003e distributes load across more contact points for improved strength and durability during demanding suspension movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReplaces:\u003c\/strong\u003e GM 25856606\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003e34mm socket\u003c\/strong\u003e is required for CV axle nut removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt for Lifted \u0026amp; Leveled LML Duramax Trucks\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLifted and leveled trucks can place the front CV axles at significantly steeper operating angles than stock. The DMAX Extended Travel CV Axle is designed with additional plunge and articulation to better accommodate increased suspension travel while reducing stress on the CV joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor LML Duramax owners running increased ride height, the \u003cstrong\u003eDMAX Extended Travel Front CV Axle\u003c\/strong\u003e provides increased articulation, upgraded CV components, and a stronger solution for handling the additional demands of lifted and leveled suspension setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eImportant Installation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DMAX axle shaft is thicker than the factory unit, so clearance should be verified on trucks equipped with aftermarket coilover lift kits. If your truck currently uses CV axle spacers, those spacers must remain installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptional factory-length CV hardware is available, but it is \u003cstrong\u003enot compatible with CV axle spacers\u003c\/strong\u003e. DMAX also notes that the replacement hardware uses 17mm heads compared to the factory hardware's 15mm heads, which can create clearance concerns with some lift kits. Reusing the factory hardware is recommended for applications where clearance is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dmax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54044361130349,"sku":"DMAX-8253-EXT","price":225.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0892\/2487\/2301\/files\/DMAXSTORE_DMAXSTORE_15_ae8a98f0-c828-424e-8df5-f73d73ebfe1e.jpg?v=1790203034","url":"https:\/\/dieselpowerproducts.com\/products\/dmax-extended-travel-front-cv-axle-assembly-11-14-gm-6-6l-duramax-lml","provider":"Diesel Power Products","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
