Front Drive Shaft CV Broken

[jetursi]

I was under my truck the other day and noticed the CV on the front drive shaft right off the T case is busted and spit grease around.

The biggest issue I see is that the cup part of the CV is oblong and dented from the drive shaft hitting it, if that makes sense.

I'm assuming it's from hitting full droop.

I will attach pictures tomorrow when I'm back home to clarify.

Has anyone seen this, and is there a better front drive shaft for the 5th Gens?

The truck is a 2019 2500 with Carli 3.25 with 2.0 kings and 37s.

I don't go off-road often, but when I do, it's fast roads and desert-style driving.

What mileage did this happen?

I have 60k on it now, but it looks like it happened a while ago.

I forgot to add that sometime last year, I ripped off my lower stock mount from the axle.

Is it possible it drooped, ripped the CV, and damaged the coupler?

It's hard to tell, but the joint is oblong from over droop.
