I have 3" calmini supension lift, i broke a front Cv axle and since then it just hasent been the same. had new ones put in, tons of vibration. they dropped down the angle and it makes a clicking noise when i turn a corner? they say it's because of the lift. I never had this problem before and it was higher?
Please Help

How was your CV broken? Did it shear?
Check your front diff fluid to make sure there aren't chunks floating around.

Since it sheared, that has me suspect something had to bind your CV. This is why I suggest checking your diff fluid. Refer to this thread for what you could be looking for:

When did it break? Were you wheeling it? Was it on a hard turn?

You might just be in for an auto hub then.

my thought was auto hub as well.
You can take the outer hubs off and drive it as a quick test around the neighbor hood /back and forth in your driveway or parking lot, etc (not on any majorly dirty or dusty roads as the bearings are semi-exposed). If the noise goes away, you need a new hub.

Holy crap that is a ton of wear. How tight is your front steering linkage.

Well they dropped your lift which fudged your alignment. Gave you camber and toeout. Hence the inner edge of the tires wearing at a alarming rate.
Something is going on with the front drivetrain.
Forgive the questions I'm about to ask some may seem obvious.
Are you in 2wd mode while the click is occurring?
You say it's clicking but... does the clicking get faster in pace when turning left or when turning right? Or the same?
What tempo is the click? Is it possible to upload a video? If the click is super slow slug...........slug............slug it's likely something rotating slowly like the ring gear. If it's something bzz.bzz.bzz super fast it could be the front U joints. If its on pace with tire rotation could be the CV or hub.
