cv geometry

Does anyone know how many mm's stress a cv joint will over stock geometry?
I'm wrestling with suspension vs chassis lift.

There's more to it than that. If you run a longer, heavier spring or space the strut down to lift the car you'll decrease the available wheel travel and alter the non-adjustable geometry. This is a backwards step.

Thanks, I was considering a lift kit mfg in the state I live in. It sounds like a kit from BYB is what I should go with.
