    Running a CV at a severe angle (think of the front end of improperly lifted IFS trucks) will shorten the life of the CV, however.

    The only problem I can see with hanging your CV's down is pulling at the CV boots. If they crack, they probably need to be replaced anyways.

    FWIW, I just pulled out my rear springs by disconnecting the shocks, pulling out the sway bar (I'm replacing it) and a crowbar. Popped the springs right out.

    True.

    As long as they arent being run or rotated at that extreme angle they will be fine.
