Here's my thoughts. You can look at it two ways... lengthening the CV shaft, or extending the Shaft in the diff. Thoughts are that by doing this, when you have the wheels cranked one way or another, it's not gonna want to 'pull' as much on the shaft inside the diff., which may result in it not popping out as frequently???

My buddy has the 6" PRG lift on his titan and he has the problem with the front diff poping out. I don't know if it has happened since he replaced it or not as he seems to have disappeared.

I have the 4" suspension lift (Just new upper arms) and have not had the problem yet. I'm not sure a bracket lift will help the problem. In fact the dealership blamed the problem on the lift if I remember correctly and he had to fight them to get it replaced.
